The length of the shell attains 25¼ mm, its diameter 12¼ mm. (Original description) The thin shell is broadly fusiform, with a rather short
spire. It is light greyish-white. The
protoconch is wanting. The six remaining
whorls, of which the upper one is likewise eroded, are angularly convex, and slightly excavated below the deep suture. The
sculpture consists of slightly oblique, narrow ribs, arcuated in the excavation, 15 in number in the penultimate whorl, with blunt tubercles about the median part of upper whorls and on the shoulder of the
body whorl, with beads at their upper extremities. Just below the suture, the shell is covered with fine growth striae and spiral lirae, these lirations being faint in the excavation, stronger and crowded in lower part of whorls, more remote on the
siphonal canal; the body whorl attenuated below, passing without marked limit in the rather short canal. The
aperture is oval, slightly angular above, with a rather narrow siphonal canal below. The
peristome is broken, according to growth striae with a very shallow sinus below the suture. The columellar margin is concave above, directed to the left along the siphonal canal, with a thin layer of enamel. The
operculum is thin, corneous, with a terminal nucleus at the left side. The
radula shows 2 rows of teeth, in about 12 transverse rows, each tooth with a rather sharp point and a deep sinus at its basal margin, separating .2 unequal digitations. ==Distribution==
