(Original description) The small, thin, white shell contains six well-rounded whorls exclusive of the (lost) protoconch.

When present the suture may have a thickened edge with one thread on the preceding whorl immediately behind it, or it may be quite simple.

The axial sculpture consists of (on the penultimate whorl about a dozen) short, subnodulous, slightly oblique ribs which do not cross the anal fasciole and become obsolete on the base, separated by narrower interspaces.

The anal fascioleis slightly excavated, smooth except for incremental arcuate lines close to the suture.

[3] This species occurs in the demersal zone of the Pacific Ocean off Ecuador.
