Original description.
Shell small, conoid. With about 1 nuclear (protoconch) whorl (of non-planktotrophic type), and about 8 postnuclear (teleoconch) whorls. Protoconch smooth (fig. 4), teleoconch-sculpture emerging gradually, starting with spiral no. 3. From the third whorl onward, spiral no. 1 and axial ribs appear, giving the shell a reticulated pattern. Spiral 2 emerges on the sixth whorl. On the last whorl, all three spirals are of equal strength, crossed by about eighteen axial ribs of the same strength, producing squarish knobs on their intersections. Base with three almost smooth spirals. Aperture rather large, pointed above, forming an anal notch, and below, forming a wide anterior siphonal canal. No additional spirals arise on the outer lip. Colour all brown. Length 3.1 x 1.2 mm.
