Shell broadly fusiform, with pyramidal spire and rather long, slender canal, thin, yellowish-grey. Nucleus of largest specimen wanting, remaining whorls 6, not very convex, but apparently so by a row of coarse, obtuse, rounded beads, near the base of upper whorls and the peri¬phery of last whorl, where they are 14 in number; a second row of small tubercles, rounded in upper whorls, having the character of oblique folds on lower ones, runs just below the deep suture, on a subsutural rib; lower on the shell is lirate, 2 faint lirae in the interstices of the peripheral beads, 2 strong ones below the beads of last whorl and numerous fainter ones on base and canal; the shell is covered with very fine growth-lines, last whorl strongly attenuated below. Aperture oval, angular above, ending in a rather long, narrow canal below; peristome thin, with a wide, rather shallow sinus above; then strongly protracted; columellar margin rather straight, directed to the left near and along the canal, with a thin layer of white enamel.
Alt. 22,5 mm, lat. 9,5 mm.; apert. alt. 13,5 mm; lat. 3,75 mm
