(Original description) The minute shell is waxen white, sometimes with faint purplish spiral bands.

These are axially minutely ribbed, the sculpture passing into that of the normal subsequent whorls.

On the body whorl there are about nine threads, more adjacent as they approach the siphonal canal which has about six more closely set.

The axial sculpture consists of (on the body whorl about 14) low narrow straight ribs extending from the suture to the siphonal canal with slightly narrower interspaces.

There is no nodulation at the intersections with the spiral sculpture and the reticulations are squarish and deep.
