(Original description) The small shell is ovate-pointed and contacted at the sutures and at the base.

Its colour is dull-white, with an opaque white band at the back of the body whorl.

Sculpture:—The radials are discontinuous, vertical, moderately prominent ribs, which diminish at the sutures and vanish on the base, and are set at ten to a whorl.

The varix is composed of a double rib, the free limb traversed by eight spirals and the edge armed by four tubercles, becoming larger as they ascend, the lowest double.
