Like other species described by Smith in 1890, this one was found at St. Helena Island. It is a small species reaching a maximum size of about 5mm. While the protoconch is reddish brown, the teleoconch whorls are white. There are about 11 strong costae and about 10 spiral lines per whorl. The aperture is almost round. There are about 9 teleoconch whorls. The costae extend up into the deep sutures giving the sutural line a wavy appearance.
