(Original description) The small, white shell has four or more whorls, exclusive of the (lost) protoconch.

Incremental lines are somewhat conspicuous on the base where they slightly reticulate the spiral sculpture.

The latter comprises three prominent cords on the periphery equal and equidistant, swollen where they over ride the ribs, and feebler on the body whorl.

The anal fasciole carries finer equal spiral threads, the base 10 or more somewhat larger and more nearly adjacent as they approach the siphonal canal.
