Rhinoclavis is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Cerithiidae, the ceriths.
This species is of medium to large size, measuring between 2 and 3½ inches. It has a sturdy and thick body with a regular conical spire that is very high and turreted. The whorls are almost flat, and the suture is only weakly incised. The almond-shaped aperture has a slightly tapered lip, but it is never sharp.
