(Original description)The small, fusiform, stout shell is whitish with three obscure pale brownish spiral bands on the body whorl.

The spiral sculpture consists of numerous very fine, equal, and closely set threads that cover the entire surface.

The axial sculpture features seven strong, rounded, somewhat sigmoid ribs that are slightly shouldered near the suture.

These ribs are continuous up the spire and retract obliquely posteriorly, extending from the siphonal canal to the suture on the body whorl.

The outer lip is broadly infolded and smooth on the inside.
