The length of this biconical, white shell varies between 14.5 mm and 17.2 mm; its width between 6.6 mm and 8 mm. The periphery shows thin spiral threads, crossed by irregular threads resulting in fine granules at the intersections. The four whorls of the teleoconch show a strong, rounded shoulder. The base of spire whorls have strong spiral lirae, increasing in number towards the body whorl. The columella lacks a pleat.
This species occurs in the Indian Ocean off Transkei, Southeast South Africa, at depths between 300 m and 500 m.
