The shell grows to a length of 4mm to 5 mm. The oblong aperture is somewhat rounded and its length is slightly less than the total length of the shell. The siphonal canal is wide open. The columella is slightly inclined to the left. The outer lip is not dentate and is inclined inwards with below a shallow anal sinus. [3]

This species is found in the Mediterranean Sea in the Gulf of Gabès, Tunisia.
