The length of the shell varies between 5 mm and 7.5 mm. The ribs are rounded, approximated, transversely elevately striated. The color of the shell is rusty brown. (Original description) The shell is subfusiform and pale brownish-red, with each
whorl featuring eight or nine prominent curved ribs. An elevated spiral line runs along the middle of the whorls, becoming obsolete on the
body whorl. Anteriorly, the shell has several spiral striae. The
apex is acute, and the
spire has moderately convex outlines. The shell comprises seven rather convex whorls with a distinct suture. The
aperture is rather narrow and mostly parallel with the axis of the spire. The outer
lip is significantly thickened both inside and out, with a narrow sinus. The
siphonal canal is very short. ==Distribution==
