Diagnosis
Shell small, thin-walled, turriform, with high spire and truncated base. Protoconch cyrtoconoid, brown, with four or more convex glossy whorls. Early spire whorls indistinctly shouldered, later teleoconch whorls with flattened outline. Sculpture of strong, widely set orthocline axial ribs intersected by single adapical spiral cord of even strength where it crosses the ribs and between them. Last adult whorl with strongly convex base, shortly constricted to widely open, tapering siphonal canal. Aperture rather wide, outer lip thin, evenly convex, lacking lirae on its inside. Inner lip with three narrow columellar folds, adapicalmost strongest. Shell off-white.

Description
Shell small, thin walled, turriform, with high spire shortly constricted to short tapering siphonal canal (w/h 0.38-0.39; a/h 0.43-0.45), which gives it a truncated appearance. Protoconch conical, with more than four convex polished whorls, with very fine arcuate growth lines on last one-third of whorl. Protoconch/teleoconch transition distinct. Teleoconch of seven adpressed whorls, their periphery shifted abapically. Suture wavy, impressed. Shell sculptured with strong, widely spaced, orthocline axial ribs (13 on last adult whorl), overridden by one distinct, rounded, spiral cord in adapical quarter, equally well pronounced on early and late teleoconch whorls; other elements of spiral sculpture absent. Microsculpture of very faint growth lines. Last adult whorl shortly constricted to siphonal canal, shell base strongly convex, almost globose. Siphonal canal short, widely opened, tapering, bearing three very wide, rounded spiral cords aligned with the columellar folds. Aperture ovate, shortly constricted towards opening of siphonal canal, rather low. Outer lip thin, strongly convex, slightly drawn at siphonal canal opening, lacking lirae. Inner lip with three distinct but rather thin columellar folds, adapicalmost strongest.
Shell uniformly cream. Radula attaining 0.6 mm in length and about 0.1 mm in width, formed by 51+ rows. Rachidian tricuspidate, with rather long pointed cusps and robust, moderately wide base. Anterior margins of rachidians base forming sharp blade-like edges laterally. Laterals monocuspidate, sickle-shaped.

Alisimitra barazeri is closest to Alisimitra tehuaorum in shell morphology, but differs from the latter species in shell outline and details of axial sculpture (for details, see Remarks section of Alisimitra tehuaorum). Alisimitra barazeri differs from both Alisimitra deforgesi and Alisimitra fuscolineata in the presence of only one spiral cord in adapical part of whorls, and uniform pale coloration of the shell. The broad shell of Alisimitra barazeri, with its strongly convex base, differs drastically from the elongate Alisimitra samadiae, pre¬venting any confusion between the two.
