La spire pen saillante est ennoyee. l:ouverture est rectiligne. Le canal siphonal profond est court, formant un pontet tres faiblement marque, legerement rehausse par rapport a la sole ventrale calleuse, aplanie. Le pli terminal plongeant est double transversalement d'un court denticule convergeant; il est prolonge par la lame interne a 90", courte, lanceolee a son extremite. La fossula, profonde et regulierement excavee, porte a son bord 5 denticules la parcourant irregulierement. La levre interne droite porte 16 gros denticules, regulierement espaces, limites par 1' angulation. Le canal exhalant profond, axe, est court, le pseudo-pontet qu'il forme etant fortement calleux. La levre externe sinueuse, crispee en son quart anterieur, parte 23 denticules epais et courts.
