Shell small, lucid white, slender, with a very short nuclear whorl and five and a half subsequent whorls; suture distinct, constricted, not appressed, the fasciole in front of it flattish, its anterior edge angular, forming a conspicuous shoulder to the whorls; axial sculpture of (on the last whorl about 25) threadlike ribs, stronger on the earlier whorls, with subequal interspaces, crossing from suture to suture, sharply nodulous at the shoulder and obsolete on the base; incremental lines inconspicuous; spiral sculpture of (on the spire three, on the last whorl six or seven, alternating in strength) sharp threads, prominently nodulous where they override the ribs; base and pillar smooth; aperture ovate, about one-fourth the whole length, canal hardly differentiated, pillar very short; outer lip sharp, anal sulcus wide and shallow. Length, 7.5; diameter, 2.2 mm. U. S. Nat. Mus-Cat. No. 333446.
The strong rather sharp sculpture gives this form a peculiarly elegant appearance.
