Description
The length of the ovate, dirty white shell attains 6.5 mm, its diameter {{frac|2|2|3}} mm. It contains {{frac|6|1|2}} whorls. The outer lip is conspicuously thin, very dilated laterally and slightly sinuate on top. The columella has a slight callus. The open siphonal canal is very short. The single reddish-brown band around the body whorl and the broadly expanded lip at once mark the distinctness of this species. The maculations near the suture are about three on a whorl.{{cite journal |last1=Smith |first1=E.A. |title=Diagnoses of new species of Pleurotomidae in the British Museum |journal=Annals and Magazine of Natural History |date=1877 |volume=4 |issue=19 |pages=488–501 |url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/19241774}} {{source-attribution}}
