Shell slender, fusiform, glossy. Whorls seven, of which one and a half compose a small, smooth, helicoid protoconch. Colour white, ornamented with four to six pale orange bands, appearing only in the interstices, not on the ribs; these sometimes coalesce from above and below, thus replacing spiral by radial painting. Sculpture: Radial ribs are well developed, projecting as an angle on the shoulder, continuing from suture to base, and amounting to ten on the last whorl ; the spiral threads are sharp on the upper whorls, where they are decussated by radial strife; gradually they vanish, till on the middle of the last whorl the surface seems smooth to the eye, and only a few engraved spirals can be found with a lens. Aperture: The mouth is linear; the slight varix encloses a small sinus, and extends in a narrow free edge; inner lip well developed, with fifteen cross-bars; beneath the varix are fourteen short entering plicae. Length 11 mm., breadth 4 mm.

This species is allied to Eucithara angela, but is smaller, more pointed at the ends, with fewer ribs, and not so sharply angled at the shoulder.
