The length of the shell varies between 5 mm and 11 mm. (Original description) The minute shell, which is either whitish or pale brownish, is subcylindrical and turreted in shape. The
protoconch features a projecting, minute subglobular
apex and comprises about 1½ smooth
whorls. This is followed in the
teleoconch by approximately 4½ sculptured whorls. The spiral
sculpture consists of minute, close-set threads that uniformly cover the entire surface. The suture is distinct and appressed, with the whorls being shouldered immediately in front of it. The axial sculpture is characterized by prominent, slightly protractively oblique ribs (seven or eight on the
body whorl), with wider interspaces. These ribs extend over the entire whorl and are prominent at the shoulder, but they are not continuous over the
spire. The
aperture is narrow, and the outer
lip is varicose, thick, and striated in front while being smooth inside. The
anal sulcus is conspicuous but not deep. The inner lip is smooth, and the
siphonal canal is barely differentiated. ==Distribution==
