This species differs from T. judbarraensis in its more slender shell, flatter whorls and the outer lip of the smaller aperture is only slightly reflected. The radula has only three (instead of four) basal denticles on the central teeth and fewer cusps on the marginal teeth. It also differs in the penis apparently lacking a flange and in there being a seminal receptacle.
