Description
The length of the ovate, dirty white shell attains 6.5 mm, its diameter 2+2⁄3 mm. It contains 6+1⁄2 whorls. The outer lip is conspicuously thin, very dilated laterally and slightly sinuate on top. The columella has a slight callus. The open siphonal canal is very short. The single reddish-brown band around the body whorl and the broadly expanded lip at once mark the distinctness of this species. The maculations near the suture are about three on a whorl.
