(Original description) The small, fusiform shell is, white, with an inflated, smooth white protoconch of 1½ whorls and nearly four subsequent whorls.

The spiral sculpture consists of (on the penultimate whorl 6; on the body whorl about 20) equal and equally distributed cords with usually wider interspaces in each of which runs a fine intercalary thread.

The outer lip is thin, sharp and crenulate by the sculpture.

The siphonal canal is short and slightly recurved.
