The shell is tiny (holotype length 7.5 mm) and roughly fusiform. The spire is high, consisting of one and one-half horn-colored nuclear whorls, the first half whorl of which is sunken into the next, and four subangulate postnuclcar whorls. The suture is moderately impressed and interrupted by spiral and axial sculptural elements. The body whorl is of moderate size and roughly fusoid. The aperture is small and subcircular, with a poorly-defined anal sulcus. The margin of the outer apertural lip is erect and crenulate, the crenulations reflecting the outer shell sculpture. The columellar lip is also erect. The siphonal canal is short, open, and weakly dorsally recurved.
The body whorl bears seven varices, oriented slightly obliquely to the long axis of the shell and raised and moderately broad, the intervarical spaces approximately equal to the varices in width. Spiral sculpture consists of five broad cords on the body, intercalary elements of secondary strength on the body, and one primary and two secondary elements on the canal. The body cords are medially incised as they traverse the intervarical spaces, and all spiral elements become nodulose over the varices. The entire shell presents a cancellate appearance. Shell color is pale flesh overall.
Known only from the holotype (type locality Sagami Bay, Japan).
