Shell small. 24 mm. (ca 1 inch) in height. Whorls 9, including a smooth globular protoconch of about 1,75 whorls. Spire slightly taller than height of aperture plus canal. Post-nuclear whorls firstly with a subsutural series of rounded gemmules. followed by a steeply descending shoulder concavity to a bluntly rounded nodulose peripheral angulation, set just below middle whorl height. The axials are short, vertical to slightly protractive, about 16 per whorl. Spiral sculpture of 1-2 narrowly rounded cords, situated between the peripheral axials and the lower suture, with a third cord half emergent over the last whorl. Rather widely spaced spiral cords continue over the base and neck. Surface crowded with axial growth lines. Sinus broadly and shallowly arcuate, occupying most of the shoulder concavity. Outer lip thin, evidently protractively arcuate.
