The height of the shell attains 5.8 mm, its diameter 1.9 mm. The small, blunt-tipped, polished shell has a subcylindrical shape. it is yellow, brown, salmon-colored, bluish gray, or streaked or banded with these colors. The shell contains seven
whorls. The
apex is flattish. The small nucleus is not differentiated. The whorls, after the second, are nearly equal in diameter. The
suture is much appressed. The whorl is somewhat constricted in front of it. The
sculpture consists only of faint incremental lines. The base of the shell is rounded. The
aperture is rounded ovate, slightly oblique. The outer
lip is continuous with the
columella, which is raised, arched in harmony with the lip, but not reflected. There is no
umbilicus. The simple
lip is hardly thickened. There is a little callus on the body and in the posterior angle between the lip and body;. The aperture is simple and very slightly pearly. The
operculum is circular, externally shaggy, with many whorls. The animal has long slender tentacles. The black eyes stand on separate rather long peduncles. The epipodial line is indicated by four or six short stout papillae. The foot is short and broad. The muzzle is rather large and long, a. little indented in the middle line. The median and admedian teethare simple, with narrow straight stems, and simple, wide, mushroom-like cusps. The uncini are numerous and filiform. The admedian teeth number four, the outer ones the larger. The stems and bases of the middle part of the
radula are so small and thin as to be difficult to distinguish. ==Distribution==
