This species extremely resembles Haedropleura septangularis, Mont., in general appearance and in sculpture, both as regards ribs and the fine spiral striae. In form it is smaller, narrower, and much more cylindrical, the body-whorl is similarly tumid; but it and the mouth still more are shorter; the penultimate whorl is very much smaller and especially is narrower; while the upper whorls are broader, and the apex very much broader and blunter. The specimen is in too bad condition for detailed description.
