Description

The length of the whitish, ovate-fusiform shell varies between 7.5 mm and 13 mm. The aperture and the spire have about the same length. The shell contains five whorls. These are longitudinally eroded with angulated and nodulose plicae and transversely by obscure grooves. The body whorl is swollen. The aperture is ovate. The thin, outer lip is expanded. The siphonal canal is short.
