Description

Shell small, translucent white, with a one-sided subglobular smooth nucleus of a whorl and a half, and about four subsequent whorls; suture distinct, anal fasciole sloping to a corded shoulder; spiral sculpture begins by two strong cords, one of which marks the shoulder and to these are added by intercalation until the penultimate whorl has four and the last fourteen, not counting the threads on the canal; these are reticulated by axial cords of similar size which do not form ribs or nodes, though the posterior cord at the shoulder is slightly undulated; anal sulcus obscure, aperture simple, inner lip erased, canal short. Height of shell, 5.5; of last whorl, 3.5; diameter, 2 mm. (Dall.)
