This small, pale brown shell has a turbinate shape and is broadly umbilicate.

The body whorl is rapidly increasing and descending, at last becoming loose.

The sculpture of the shell shows above numerous closely packed strong radial ribs, which project as denticules from the periphery.

Between the basal and peripheral angles the ribs descend perpendicularly and are crossed by fine spiral threads.

[2] The minute size, simple aperture and uncoiling of the body whorl distinguish this species.
