The length of the shell attains 5.7 mm, its diameter 2.5 mm. (Original description) The small shell has an ovate-cylindrical shape and is rather gibbous. Its colour is white on the
protoconch, and pale cream on the remainder of the shell. It contains 5
whorls of which two compose a rather elevate protoconch. Its
sculpture shows on the first adult whorl are ten narrow, elevated, wide-spaced radials. These degenerate as growth advances; from the last suture they persist as downward dashes, and vanish on the anterior half of the shell. The entire surface carries dense microscopic spiral scratches. The
aperture is narrow and vertical. The
varix is prominent and expanded. Near the summit is excavated a broad and shallow sinus, and at two-thirds of its length occurs a stromboid insinuation A thin free edge reaches over the aperture. On the
columella is a substantial callus. The
siphonal canal is short, wide, and open. ==Distribution==
