Description
The length of the shell attains 4 1⁄3 mm, its diameter 1 1⁄2 mm.
The ovate-fusiform shell is white. The shell contains 6 whorls, of which 2 smooth whorls in the protoconch. The subsequent whorls are slightly convex. This unpretending little shell has for its chief distinctive characters the 8 rounded ribs and fine spiral striation, and the outer lip is thickened within at a little distance from the acute margin. The small aperture is narrow. The columella shows a small callus. The siphonal canal is very short.[1]
