"Shell elongately fusiform, with rather long canal, rather strong, yellowish-white. Apex wanting, remaining whorls 6,5, separated by a conspicuous, simple suture, convex, slightly excavated at their upper part. Sculpture consisting of numerous, very irregular, spiral striae, more conspicuous at the base of shell and canal, scarcely traceable in the excavation; upper whorls with a peripheral row of obtuse tubercles, which in the uppermost whorls have the character of ribs; these tubercles disappear on last whorl, which has only a more prominent keel-like spiral just below the excavation; the whorls are moreover crossed by numerous growth-lines, strongly curved and conspicuous in the excavation, oblique and sometimes rib-like in the lower part, which produces a wavy appearance of some parts of the shell. Aperture oblong, angular above, ending below in a rather long, broad canal, slightly directed to the left; peristome broken, but according to growth-lines with a deep sinus at the suture, then strongly-protracted; columellar margin regularly curved, with a thin layer of enamel, slightly contorted along the canal."
