Shell small, translucent white, biconic, with a smooth white inflated nucleus of a whorl and a half, and about four subsequent moderately convex whorls; suture distinct, not appressed, with an elevated thread on its anterior margin; axial sculpture of (on the last whorl 12 to 14) narrow vertical rounded ribs with wider interspaces, crossing the whorls, and rather conspicuous incremental lines; spiral sculpture of (on the spire two, on the last whorl about nine) very distinct equal fine threads, over running the ribs without modulation, with wider interspaces, more close on the base, and fine intercalary striae, chiefly visible in the interspaces and there minutely reticulating the incremental lines; aperture rather narrow, the outer lip hardly thickened except when coincident with a rib, smooth inside; the body and pillar short, the canal hardly differentiated from the aperture. Length of shell, 5; of aperture, 2.5; diameter, 2.5 mm. U. S. Nat. Mus. Cat. No. 108311.
