The size of an adult shell attains 9 mm, its width 2.6 mm. (Original description) The small shell is slender and has a fusiform shape. The
spire is elevated. The
apex is rounded. The shell contains seven convex
whorls. The first three whorls are smooth. The remainder, with exception of the
body whorl, are ornamented with about eighteen transverse ridges and two or three rather indistinct spiral grooves, the whole giving a cancellate appearance to the surface. On the body whorl the transverse and spiral
sculpture are of about equal prominence, the transverse sculpture being more subdued than on the whorls above it. The suture is quite deeply impressed. The
aperture is narrow and elliptical. The
columella is truncated anteriorly. The outer
lip is smooth and thin. The inner lip is smooth. ==Distribution==
