The length of the shell attains 6 mm, its diameter 2 mm. This species has no very marked distinctive character. The white oblong-ovate shell contains 7
whorls, of which 3 smooth and convex whorls in the
protoconch. The subsequent whorls are slightly convex. They show 8-9 ribs. The
aperture is small and measures a bit less than half the length of the shell. The spiral striations are generally rather coarse, but some are finer than the others, and the ribs on the
body whorl become more remote from each other as they approach the outer
lip. The outer lip is incrassate. The truncated
siphonal canal is very short. ==Distribution==
