Small species of triton with a spire just more than half the length of the shell and with strong ribs crossed by ridges to give a lattice-like effect over the shell surface. The species is common in cryptic habitats such as under rocks and among encrusting plants and animals. A closely related species, S.eburnea, with finer sculpture and generally a pink top to the spire, is moderately common in Victoria and Tasmania.
