Description
The white, small shell has a decidedly rissoid shape. Its length measures 1.3 mm. The whorls of the protoconch are intorted. The teleoconch contains 2 to 2 ½ well-rounded whorls, covered with numerous rib-like striae. The sutures are clearly defined but not channeled. The periphery and the base of the body whorl are well rounded. The aperture is oval. The posterior angle is obtuse. The outer lip is thin. The small columellar tooth is well-developed and deep-seated.[3]
