Shell small, yellowish white, eight-whorled. Nucleus milk-white, polished, two-whorled, smooth. Spiral sculpture of (on the last whorl about 12) rather strong rounded threads, of which three appear on the upper whorls about equal and equidistant, riding over and becoming a little swollen upon the transverse ribs; between these are numerous small subequal close-set spiral threads; transverse sculpture of (on the last whorl about 12) equal even ribs, which fall away toward the sutures and on the canal; these ribs are wider than their interspaces, with a tendency to become nodulous where crossed by the strong spirals ; both margins of the suture are bordered by a thread and appressed to each other in a wavy line ; canal and aperture moderate ; the outer lip lirate within; inner lip simple, with a light wash of callus; whorls moderately rounded. Max. lon. of shell, 15.0 mm; of last whorl, 10.0 mm; of aperture, 4.0 mm; of canal in front of the aperture, 4.0 mm; max. lat. of shell, 5.5 mm.

Gulf of Mexico. Caribbic area. This little shell appears to be abundant, and to have a very wide bathy-metrical range.
