Shell small, trochiform, white, with a minute, smooth globular nucleus and seven subsequent strongly sculptured whorls; suture obscure: spiral sculpture of a small, closely beaded thread at the summit of the whorl, separated from a low, sharp carina by a wider, excavated interspace, and the latter from a more prominent periph¬eral carina by a still wider space: on the base are three sharp threads followed by three lower rounded threads, which approach the pillar; axial sculpture of line, even, arcuate wrinkles, which, except where they bead the posterior thread, are chiefly visible in the interspaces; the suture is laid on the peripheral thread and between it and the outer lip at the aperture is a very deep sulcus; the outer lip is much produced and its edge modified by the external sculpture, so that there is a sulcus at the end of the peripheral keel, another at the middle of the base, and still another at the base of the pillar, which is arcuate and produced like a small plait: the base is imperforate, the body with no visible glaze; height, 5: diameter, 3,5 mm.
