Shell small, thin, elongate-ovate. Colour pale buff, with a narrow subsutural band. Whorls rounded, six, including the protoconch, which is smooth, turbinate, slightly tilted, and of two whorls. Sculpture : The ribs rather prominent, rounded, broader than their interstices, on the penultimate nine, on the last whorl ten ; these are spaced more widely than those above, commencing at the suture and terminating rather abruptly at the periphery; the spirals even, comparatively coarse, and close-set threads, which over-run the whole shell. Aperture wide, unarmed, varix slight; sinus indistinct; canal a mere notch. Length 4.5 mm, breadth 2 mm.
