Shell small, robust, formed by 4 whorls of rapid growth; two thick carinae angle the shell; umbilicus broad and deep. The protoconch measures about 310 µm in diameter, has 1,75 whorls and two distinct phases; the first is completely smooth and the second has fine small tubercles scattered over the whole surface; it ends in a slight thickening. The teleoconch has two spiral whorls and is delimited by two carinae, one being peripheral, the other, basal; orna-mentation formed by flattened spiral cords and sinuous axial lines that inter-sect to form in their interspaces lines of rounded cells covering the adapical part and the periphery of the shell. On the adapical part of the last whorl the cords disappear over a wide strip, which appears to be almost smooth. Base convex, observed at the beginning of last whorl, with thick axial ribs that disappear in some areas from the first quarter whorl, leaving only fine growth lines; a thin cord defines and angles the umbilicus. Aperture triangular, oval; parietal area covered by a thin callous coating; columella arched, very thick, reflected towards the umbilicus but not occluding it entirely; outer lip thick-walled, margin unchanged by the spiral cords, but modified by the peripheral carina expanding it laterally, forming two internal angles at the point of contact with the carina. Umbilicus wide and deep, with an angled edge and straight wall, on which there are fine spiral cordlets and some axial folds. Dimensions: the holotype is 2.15 mm in maximum diameter.

Anticlimax infaceta spec. nov. differs from, the remaining species of the group by its size and the ornamentation of the protoconch; by lacking axial ribs between the peripheral and basal carinae and also by lacking thick axial folds at its base; the outer lip is not so angled or as thick as in other species.
