Description. Shell imperforate, small, reaching 7,4 mm. (about 0,25 inch) in length, 5 mm width, globose, sculptured and solid in structure. Whorls 5, strongly convex and shouldered. Color a uniform chestnut-brown. Spire extended a little above the body whorl. Suture distinct. Aperture ovate to subovate with the outer lip thin but much thickened below. Parietal area with 3 plicae, the lower two on the columella about equal in size, the upper one on the body whorl much larger. Outer lip with a single broad tooth below the shoulder. Columella broad and straight. Sculpture consists of numerous fine, incised spiral grooves. Axial sculpture of fine growth lines.

Pedipes angulata C. H. Adams is close in its relationship to P. mirabilis von Muhlfeldt of the Western Atlantic. It differs by being larger, having a somewhat broader columella and in having the outer lip expanded or bell shaped. The sculpture appears to be the same in both species, as are the columellar and palatal teeth, but they are much larger in P. angulata. In addition, the whorls in P. angulata are slightly flattened.

From southern California south to the Republic of Panama.
