This species occurs in the Atlantic Ocean off Argentina at depths between 60 m and 100 m. The perforated, bicarinate, pearly shell has a conical shape. The 4½ whorls are gradate. The first 2 are yellowish, smooth, the following ones denuded-pearly. Beneath the suture the shell is sculptured with a series of nodules and smooth spiral lirae, few in number or evanescent.

The columellar margin is concave, thickened, below a little expanded, edentulous.
