Shell very small, broadly conical, white and translucent. Protoconch of typical Guraleus form, 3,5 whorls, axial riblets on the last whorl, the others smooth. Mature whorls only two, the body whorl large, slightly shouldered on the periphery and slightly more angular than shown in the figure. Sculpture of strong axial ribs, fading on the base, the ribs rounded and elevated, rather widely spaced, about 12 to the whorl, and overridden by fine spiral threads, continuous on the columella. Aperture broadly pyriform, outer margin with a varix, an enlargement of the last axial rib, arched above the suture, and with a thin free edge, the sinus broad and shallow excavated in the shoulder of the varix, canal wide and open. Inner margin straight, with a narrow callus, curved at the anterior end of the broad columella and terminating above the canal. Length 3.4 mm., width 1.6 mm., aperture 1.6 mm.

It was at first thought that this was the young of one of the other species, but the uniform size of the many specimens and comparison with the early whorls of such species as pictus, led to the conclusion that it was mature, and thus the smallest species of Guraleus yet recorded. It is also the broadest in proportion to its length. The enlargement of the last axial rib to form a varix also suggests maturity.
