The shell grows to a length of 23 mm.
The shell is elongate-acuminate. Its color is dark white. The spire is elongate and contains 7 whorls. The first one is rounded, the second whorl is slightly convex, the others are convex and obtusely angulated. They show a few smooth oblique plicae. The interstices between the ribs are rather smooth. The body whorl is oblong and slightly convex on top and with a short, but conspicuous, fold below the suture. There is no dorsal varix. The siphonal canal is truncated. The columella is nearly straight and very thin plated.[2]
