Shell solid, yellowish white, longitudinally irregularly but closely ribbed, ribs incrassate; whorls 6-7, at first sloping, then con-spicuously and broadly angled, the whole surface covered with fine revolving striae, which run in pairs, alternating with very narrow intervening spaces. Mouth narrow, elongate, outer lip thickened, with fifteen small shining white denticulations at the orifice; columellar margin extended, similarly denticulate; canal very short, wide; sinus shallow and obscure.
Long. 12 mm., lat. 4.25 mm.

Though commonplace in appearance, this little Eucithara cannot exactly be matched among the many described species. It seems nearest, perhaps, to capillacea, Reeve. The number of ribs, irregularly set out on the body-whorl, is about sixteen; they are numerous likewise on the two next whorls.
