Description
The rather thin, shining shell has a fulvous orange color, with a pale band at the suture. It is darker on the lower whorls, fading into white towards the apex. Its length measures 6 mm. The teleoconch contains eight whorls that are finely transversely striated. The fold of the lip is very small and rudimentary.[2]

This marine species occurs off New South Wales, Australia. The type specimen was found off Port Jackson.
