Shell minute, solid, perforate, ovate, smooth. Whorls four, contracted at the suture, inflated, rapidly increasing, last descending at the aperture. Colour cream, the upper whorls pale orange, the lower with bands of pale orange on periphery and shoulder, only the latter reappearing on penultimate whorl; these bands are visible within the aperture. Umbilicus and columella stained a much deeper orange. Sculpture: faint irregular growth-lines. Aperture entire, free, though barely so, from the body-whorl, subcircular, angled above; outer lip thin, a little expanded; columella arched, partly reflected over the umbilicus. Base rounded. Umbilicus narrow, deep, margined by a ridge which runs out to the point of the pillar. Height 1,5 mm.; breadth l,l mm.
Dredged in abundance in 17-20 fathoms. The rich orange colour of this minute shell readily distinguishes it.
