Description (holotype): Shell of very small size (2.04 x 0.77 mm), pupiform, suture deep, colour brown with a whitish band on the second spiral cord. Protoconch (0.41 x 0.23 mm) conical, of 4 whorls, apex rounded. The surface is smooth and the suturae of protoconch whorls is ornated with numerous denticles and the lower part of the protoconch whorls is ornated with a denticulated cord. Transition to teleoconch marked by a sinusigera lip. Teleoconch of 5,5 whorls, reticular sculpture of three spiral cords of which the first is smaller in size, crossed by weaker axial ribs, about 20-21 on last whorl, with beads at each intersection. The base is composed of two strong cords on the upper part and numerous thin cords on the lower part. Columella short, obliquely truncate; ridge bordering an oval aperture with siphonal canal and anal sulcus well defined.

This species has such a unique protoconch that it is unmistakeable. The pattern of this species is variable, in fact the white band present in many of the studied specimens can be missing.
