(Original description) The small shell is fusiform and turreted.

These are sharply angular, with an angle about two-fifths distance from the anterior margin of the whorl.

About fifteen oblique nodes ornament the angle and extend down on the lower portion of the whorl, becoming obsolete before reaching the suture.

The body whorl is angular, ventricose, much produced and narrow below, smooth, except for faint incremental lines.

One specimen has been found from Pliocene strata and one (type) from lower San Pedro series of Deadman Island.
