The height of this small shell measures 3 mm. It is broadly umbilicated, pearly and beautifully prismatic. The
spire is depressed-conical. It contains five
whorls, the first two are smooth, the remainder spirally lirate, and ornamented beneath the channelled
sutures with a series of white tubercles, here and there marked with brown. The
body whorl is encircled by chestnut-dotted carinae. The base of the shell contains a purple-brown zone. The
umbilicus is perspective, margined by a somewhat tubercular cord. The
aperture is subcircular. ==Distribution==
