(Original description) The small, solid shell is ovate-fusiform, rather turreted and constricted at the base.

Sculpture: A subsutural space representing the fasciole is smooth save for radial wrinkles.

The radial ribs are perpendicular and discontinuous, absent on base and fasciole, set at about fourteen to a whorl, and chiefly discernible as knots on the spirals.

On the body whorl the spirals amount to fifteen, on the penultimate to six, and on the antepenultimate to four sharp elevated cords.

The inner edge of the outer lip is beset with ten small crowded denticules.
