The original description of Thiele was in german. Please click german flag.

Shell small, 8 mm. (0,3 inch) in height, broadly fusiform, with spire slightly taller than height of aperture plus canal. No sub¬sutural margining, shoulder area wide, straight and steeply descending to a blunt peripheral angle, at lower third of whorl height. Axial sculpture of peripheral nodes, rounded on early-whorls, lengthened below over the last whorl but not quite reaching the lower suture. Spiral sculpture of weak cords, 1-2 emergent between peripheral nodes and lower suture and continued, linear spaced, over the body-whorl to the anterior end, which appears to be smooth. Whorls 6,5 of which 1,5 form the relatively large globular smooth protoconch, the last whorl faintly angulate. Sinus broadly rounded occupying most of the shoulder slope. Colour light brownish.
