Shell small, very solid, ovate-oblong, rounded at either end. Whorls six, two forming the low protoconch, convex, a little constricted below the suture, which is deeply impressed. Colour vinaceous-buff, sometimes with a white zone its own breadth below the suture, and half-a-dozen evenly spaced narrow white lines on the remainder of the whorl; the columella terra-cotta, and the throat orange-cinnamon with a buff zone. Sculpture: In general the shell is smooth ; on the upper whorls about ten low nodular ribs are scarcely distinguishable ; lines of growth are marked by numerous irregular scratches; a few evanescent spiral grooves may or may not appear on the body whorl. Aperture wide, smooth within, outer lip simple, the sinus represented by an arch of the summit; inner lip a thin callus, which at the basal axis meets at an acute angle a thicker callus rising to form a reflected border to the short and very broad canal; columella vertical, flattened, and a little twisted. Length 7.5 mm., breadth 3 mm.
