The length of the shell attains 5 mm, its diameter 2.2 mm. (Original description) The small shell is vitreous white. It is few whorled, the
body whorl much the largest. It contains a smooth
protoconch of1½
whorl and somewhat more than 3½ subsequent whorls. The suture is inconspicuous, not constricted. The fasciole is feebly marked. The axial
sculpture consists of (on the body whorl about a dozen) low rounded ribs with much wider interspaces, crossing the whorls, and well-marked close incremental lines. The spiral sculpture consists of (on the first adult whorl 2, on the next 3, and on the body whorl 8 or 9) sharp fine threads with much wider interspaces, a little swollen where they override the ribs, and forming by the intersection a rather open reticulum. In the interspaces are very fine close spiral striae. This sculpture covers the shell. The
aperture is narrow, hardly wider than the
siphonal canal. The
anal sulcus is very shallow. The outer
lip is hardly thickened. The
columella is short and straight, axis impervious. ==Distribution==
