The small, rather thin, imperforate shell has a globosely conoidal shape.

Its sculpture consists of distant rounded spiral cinguli, 5 on the penultimate, 13 on the body whorl with smooth interstices.

The outer lip slightly indented, sharp, articulated with pinkish-brown, with an inner opaque white band.

The inner lip has a small expansion beyond the columella, but perfectly filling up the perforation.
