The shell is tiny (maximum length 10 mm) and fusiform. The spire is high, consisting of one and one-half convex nuclear whorls and four or five convex postnuclear whorls. The suture is well-impressed. The body whorl is of moderate size and fusoid. The aperture is moderately small and ovate to subcircular, with a bare indication of an anal sulcus. The outer apertural lip is erect and weakly crenulate at its margin; its inner surface is weakly lirate. The columellar lip is adherent at its posterior end but detached and weakly erect for its remaining length. The siphonal canal is moderately long, bent to the left, and barely open.
The bodywhorl bears seven moderately weak varices. Spiral sculpture consists of seven weak major cords on the shoulder and the body; between adjacent major cords is a single minor cord of almost the same size as a major. The canal bears four minor cords. Shell color is pale fleshy pink to pale orange or yellow. The aperture is white.
