The shape of the shell is narrowly conic; 1 nuclear whorl broken, the remaining 4 shouldered. The surface is cancellated by 5 spiral lines on the penultimate whorl and 12 faint ribs; aperture narrow. The colour is yellowish, and the size 3x 1-2 mm. Characteristics. Near the last, but narrower, and with wider whorls. Also near M. kowiensis, and some others, but it does not agree with any of them.
