Description
Original description: "Shell medium sized for genus. Cylindrical, 15-17 plicae which are explicit present. Spire blunted in adults and more elongated in subadult specimens. Spire whorls are completely covered with thickened purplish to brownish callus. The coloration of the callus is shown radially from apex to suture. The ground color of the body-whorl is cream to yellowish. The shell has two, more or less shown, bands. One around the middle of the body-whorl, the other a little below the suture. Oliva vicweei n.sp. is clouded by brownish spots and yellow triangles and very dark spots are scattered around the body-whorl. Just below the suture a necklace of dark brown to black spots is present. Aperture lavender to brownish within. The suprafasciolarian band is provided with numerous, irregular, reddish brown lines." The holotype measures 29.8 x 13.3 mm. and is deposited in the ZMA (ZMA moll. 3.89.017).
