The shell grows to a length of 11.4-15 mm at maturity, and has a high
spire with 1.5 rounded, smooth, glossy
protoconch whorls with a thin, weakly erect terminal
varix. The shell also has 5-6 narrow
teleoconch whorls, each with three "wing-like" varicies, which curve upward, and have a narrow groove in the adapertural side. The shell also features an intervariacal axial
sculpture consisting of a single, prominent node situated midway between each pair of variceal wings, which are crossed by 2-4 spiral cords on the last teleoconch whorl, as well as a spiral sculpture of 5-6 smooth cords. The
aperture is small and ovate, and the
columellar lip is smooth, with an abapically erect rim. The anal notch is broad, and delineated by one small
denticle. The outer lip is weakly erect, with 5 strong denticles within. The
siphonal canal is of moderate length for
Timbellus snails, narrowly open, bent abaxially and adaperturally, with 2 small open spines. The shell is translucent white, with the largest
paratype having a pale brown tip of the siphonal canal and first 2 teleoconch whorls. ==Distribution==
