Shell fusiform, with short canal, rather solid, yellowish, with irregular, faint, red-brown 



streaks. Whorls probably 8 (uppermost whorl wanting) of which a nuclear one is convex, with faint, 



partly interruptes riblets. Post-nuclear whorls convex, separated by a linear, faintly waved suture, 



tnpanied by a narrow excavation, with a \^\\ faint lirae; lower part slightly angular at limit 



ccavation, cancellated by numerous, narrow ribs, about [8 in number on penultimate whorl, 



■il by spirals irly equal strength, 9 in number on penultimate whorl, which make 



the ribs beaded in crossing them; moreover intermediate lirae and crowded growth-striae produce 



a micro-cancellation. Aperture oblong, with a narrow, rather deep sinus above; peristome blunt, 



slightly arched and crenulate, strongly contracted below and forming a blunt angle at the limit 



of canal, exteriorly with a rounded varix, bearing 3 of the ribs, interiorly with a few short 



of which those bordering the upper sinus and limit of canal are stronger. Columellar 



margin slightly concave above, nearly straight below, with a thin layer of enamel and a strong 



tubercle at the entrance of upper sinus. Interior of aperture light brown, with a white margin.

This species is allied tn D. subuia Reeve, but according to Mr. Smitii, who compared 

 it with the type, differing by a longer canal, shorter whorls etc. It has likewise in my opinion 

 much resemblance with Clathurella.
