(Original description in Latin) The very thin, delicate, elongated shell is imperforate and is spirally encircled with numerous fine raised ribs, featuring a prominent larger rib near the lower part of the whorls. The thin lamellae are irregularly spaced. The whorls are somewhat numerous, swollen, and slightly elevated near the deep suture. Varices are exceedingly rare. The shell's color is predominantly white, delicately tinged with pale purple and yellowish hues. [3]
