Distinctive features are 1) turreted, nearly straight-sided shell attaining 5 mm in height, 2) teleoconch whorls slightly convex, meeting at grooved sutures, 3) body whorl ovate-subcylindrical, slightly less than one-half the total height, 4) aperture subquadrangular, outer lip varicose, with 4 inner tubercles of decreasing strength downward, 5) sculpture of broad varices overridden by spiral cords; the varices do not continue over the base where 8 spirals occur. Alaba virgata (Philippi, 1849) has greater spiral angle and finer spirals (cf. BOSCH etal., 1995: Fig. 178).
