Description

The length of the shell attains 6 mm, its diameter 2.75 mm.

(Original description) The small shell is rather solid and acutely ovate. The elevated spire is pointed. The shell contains six to seven whorls, moderately convex, with inconspicuous revolving grooves. The upper whorls are delicately sculptured with close-set rounded longitudinal ribs. The apex is obtuse. The aperture measures nearly half the length of the shell. The outer lip is somewhat thickened with five to seven denticles on the inner side. The columella shows a single rather prominent plait or tubercle just below the middle. The surface is colored by five to six brownish-red bands, alternating with as many white. [2]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off the Galapagos
