The shell has a regularly elongate-conic shape. It is yellowish-white, with fine golden yellow spiral lines between the
sutures and on the base. Its length measures 10.6 mm. The
whorls of the
protoconch are small, deeply obliquely immersed in the first succeeding turn. The ten whorls of the
teleoconch are well rounded, feebly shouldered at the summit, scarcely at all contracted at the sutures. The sutures are weakly impressed. The periphery and the base of the
body whorl are well rounded and smooth. The
aperture is irregularly oval. The
outer lip is thin. It is reinforced deeply within by five strong spiral cords, one of which is at the periphery, two divide the space between this and the summit into three equal parts, and two a little less strong are on the base. The
columella is strong and straight. The posterior fold is oblique, very strong and lamellar. The anterior two are about one-fourth as high as the posterior, very oblique. The parietal wall is glazed by a thin callus. ==Distribution==
