The original description of Thiele was in german. Please click german flag.

Shell small, 9 mm (0,375 inch) in height, fusiform-biconic, with spire taller than the aperture plus canal. Whorls 7, of which two form the smooth globular relatively large protoconch. It resembles both gemmulaeformis (Thiele) and sumatrana (Thiele) in having a prominent bicingulate subsutural margining (mainly fused into one in this species). Angulation just below middle whorl height, sharp, horn which erect axial folds, overridden by three spiral cords, extend to the lower suture but not on to the base, where they are replaced by four strong spiral cords, followed by diminishing finer spirals over the neck and anterior end. Sinus indicated as broadly rounded, shallow, occupying the whole of the rather wide shoulder sulcus. This species is known to me only from the original description and figure, which indicate an immature shell.
