Description

The length of the shell attains 8 mm, its diameter 3.5 mm.

This is a smooth, white shell with a fusiform-ovate shape and without spiral striae. The spire is sharply conical and slightly convex. It contains 5 whorls. The longitudinal plicae are somewhat distant, and smoothly rounded. The four light fulvous lines crossing the body whorl seem to be a constant character. The body whorl measures about ⅔ of the total length of the shell. The aperture is narrow. The sinus is not very deep. The columella is straight and slightly denticled. The siphonal canal is short and very wide. [2]

R.N. Kilburn had doubts about the generic position of this species, because of the low, continuous, cord-like axial ribs and the smooth wide intervals. [3]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off Japan.
