Shell small, ovate-fusiform, pale pink, paler at the apex and white at the extremity of the body-whorl, bordered above with a few spots of a reddish colour. Whorls 8 ; four apical glossy, ex centric, convex : the rest less swollen, separated by a moderately deep suture ; last whorl scarcely angled at the middle, contracted towards the anterior end, which is transversely grooved and ridged, the ridges being about twelve in number. Aperture small, contracted anteriorly into a short open oblique canal. Labrum thin at the edge, strengthened with a varix at a little distance from the margin, which is distinctly sinuated towards the upper part, and furnished within with about five denticles. Columella perpendicular, arcuate at the middle, covered with a thin callus supporting about four cross tubercles. Length 6 mm., width 2,5 mm. Providence Reef, Mascarenes, in 24 fms.; bottom sand and coral. This species to the naked eye appears to be almost uniformly light pink ; by the aid of a lens, however, it is seen to be coloured as described above, and in addition there are two or three white dots placed at distant intervals upon the upper margin of the whorls.
