The length of the shell varies between 2.7 mm and 3.5 mm. The white shell has a conical shape with a spiral microstructure and with a blunt top. The protoconch is helicoid. The teleoconch contains six to seven flat whorls with a relatively deep suture and a few axial folds. The inner part of the outer lip is smooth. The umbilicus is lacking.[1]
