Testa fusiformis, utrinquea cuminata, Cytharae formi; anfractibus convexis, costellis longitudinalibus et liris transversis cancellatis. Apertura angusta, columella transversim sulcata ; labro extus varicoso, intus valde lirato, postice leviter sinuato, canali antice subproducto, acuminato, ad sinistram inclinato.

I am unable to refer this shell to any established genus, and my scientific friends failing to assist me, I have ventured upon giving it generic rank. It is an elegant cancellated shell, resembling in form some of the more slender species of Cythara. From all the species of that genus, however, it differs in the recurved canaliculate aperture and in the cancellation of the surface.
