(Original description) Shell: small, gibbously biconical, and strong, with a lustrous, porcellanous white surface.

It has a long, oblique, rather narrow aperture, a strongly varixed outer lip with faint teeth, and four folds on the columella.

Spire: moderately raised and conical, with an excessively blunt and rounded apex.

The outer lip has a strong varix and a blunt, rounded edge with faint denticles.

The lower half of its length is occupied by four broad but not very prominent oblique denticles, with the foremost forming a slight flange at the tip of the columella.
