(Original description) The pyriform, ivory-white, thin, fragile shell has an acute spire.

However, the upper part is marked with elegantly curved, conspicuous riblets, being slightly bead-like just below the suture, on a narrow, infrasutural spiral.

The lower part of the body whorlshows numerous, faint, spiral striae, becoming stronger on the rather long, slender siphonal canal.

The aperture is oval, wnth a sharp angle above and a narrow gutter-like siphonal canal below, which is directed to the right.

The columellar margin shows a very thin layer of enamel, slightly stronger along the siphonal canal.
