One shell from station 244 (5°55.8’S, 39°1.2’E, 50 m depth, off East Africa) belongs to an undescribed new species, it is long and conical in shape, a bit yellowish, with a faint brown colour between the tubercles of the spiral cords. The protoconch is missing; the shell has 16 whorls, which regularly increase in size, the glossy surface has fine and dense spiral cords and four strong keeled threads, of which the second and the fourth are less prominent, the third keeled cord is the most prominent, and there is a large distance between the second and third cord; in the interspaces between the cords there are wide axial ribs. On the last whorl, the lowest cord forms a sharp edge, under which the base suddenly constricts; on the base there is another spiral cord with faint brown colour between the tubercles; the siphonal canal is very oblique. The peristome is expanded, and it bears an additional spiral cord between the second and third cord. Height 13.5 mm, diameter 3.5 mm.

Diagnosis
Holotype height 13.1 mm. Shell slender, conical, with flat whorls. The teleoconch has 16 whorls, but the apex is broken and it may have a few more whorls. Teleoconch whorls have three sharp weakly tubercled spiral cords; the second develops later along the spire, on the fifth whorl. A fine suprasutural smooth cord is also present. The last whorl has a prominent fourth sharp and weakly tubercled cord, the profile of the last whorl is much angulated. The base has a further weakly tubercled spiral cord. The peristome has a posterior pallial sinus and has an additional spiral cord between the second and the third. Protoconch missing in the holotype. Colour yellowish-light brown, but the specimen was collected dead, and the colours may have faded away.
