Description

The length of the shell attains 9 mm, its diameter 4 mm.

The small, whitish shell has a broadened fusiform shape. It contains 7 whorls, of which two vitreous and globular whorls in the protoconch. The shell shows a conspicuous central acute angle in the lower whorls. The whorls are longitudinally crossed by thickish oblique ribs (8 on the body whorl) and intersected by few spiral lirae. The narrow aperture is oblong . The outer lip is invrassate. The columellar margin is straight at its base. The sinus is very obscure. The siphonal canal is hardly produced.[1]

Distribution

This marine species occurs in the Persian Gulf.
