Shell small, 10-15 mm., elongate-fusiform, very slender with a tall spire and long slender slightly flexed unnotched anterior canal. Protoconch large of 3-4 narrowly conical smooth whorls. Adult whorls rounded, slightly constricted on the shoulder slope and with a moderate subsutural fold. Adult sculpture of numerous spiral cords crossed by closely spaced long flexuous narrow axials which commence at the suture, cross the shoulder slope, very little diminished, regaining strength over the peripheral area and then gradually fading out over the base. There is a shallow subsutural sinus. The genus dilfers from Turricula in its very slender shape and narrowly conical smooth 3-4 whorled protoconch. Range — late Cretaceous of the southern United States.
