Description

The length of the shell attains 4.5 mm, its diameter 1.5 mm.

The fusiform shell is turreted and contains 6-7 whorls. The 1-2 whorls of the protoconch are glassy, shining. The subsequent whorls are ventricose and impressed at the sutures. They are very coarsely costate and also roughly lirate. The lirae are white, the interstices fulvous. The body whorl is attenuated at the base. The aperture is narrow. The sinus is ample and profound. The three denticles of the outer lip, those of the columella, and the sutural tooth are all tinged fulvous red. [2]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off the Loyalty Islands and Mactan Island, Philippines
