[1][2][3] According to ITIS, this species is a synonym of Odostomia tenuisculpta Carpenter, 1864[4] The light yellow shell has an ovate shape.

The whorls of the protoconch are deeply obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above which only the tilted edge of the last volution projects.

The six whorls of the teleoconch are well rounded, moderately contracted at the sutures, appressed at the summit.

The entire surface of the spire and the base are marked by very numerous, closely crowded, exceedingly fine spiral striations.

[1] The type specimen was found in the Pacific Ocean off Socorro Island, Mexico.
