Shell solid, narrowly fusiform. Colour cream. Whorls seven, including a small, smooth, two-whorled protoconch. Sculpture: about eight prominent curved ribs undulate the suture, and extend to the base; these are divided by broad and gently sloping interstices. Across both ribs and furrows run fine, close, spiral threads, amounting to 32 to 36 on the last whorl, and about one-half that number on the penultimate. Between the threads are microscopic radial bars. Aperture oval, anterior notch not apparent, outer lip protected by a strong rib-varix, canal short. Length 6; breadth 2.3 mm.
