Description
The length of the shell attains 6.2 mm, its diameter 2.7 mm.
(Original description) The fusiform-turreted shell contains about 8 whorls. These are sharply angulate, spirally lirate, the strongest thread forming the angle of the whorls and rising like the other threads into knobs upon the longitudinally elongate or variciform tubercles. The surface of the whorl above the keel is minutely lirate by fine spiral threads. The aperture is elongate, terminating in a moderate siphonal canal [2]
