The length of the shell attains 4+1⁄3 mm, its diameter 1+1⁄2 mm.
The ovate-fusiform shell is white. The shell contains 6 whorls, of which 2 smooth whorls in the protoconch. The subsequent whorls are slightly convex. This unpretending little shell has for its chief distinctive characters the 8 rounded ribs and fine spiral striation, and the outer lip is thickened within at a little distance from the acute margin.
