Colour whitish on a translucent background, the upper whorls becoming gradually tawny-brown towards the apex. Surface slightly shining, the incrassate growth striae overlaid on the last whorls by whitish, low, axial costulae, which are partly forked and do not always cover the whole whorl, but may end in between the sutures or shell base. Upper whorls with fine, interrupted spiral threads.

Protoconch with wrinkles, mostly broken into granules and crossed by finely incised spiral lines. Whorls 6.8, hardly convex, suture slightly impressed. Aperture elongate-subovate, 1.61 times as long as wide, 0.40 times the total height. Peristome thin, simple. Columellar margin nearly straight, very narrowly dilated above.”
