A shell of papyraceous texture, as are so many abyssal species, whitish, with very 

 thin ash-coloured epidermis. The apex of our only specimen is wanting, and the next two 

 whorls much eroded ; the remainder are embellished with a central very acute and 

 bold keel ; in the last whorl this carina is situate above the centre, and not far below the

 ashy-white within, the columellar margin straight, and the canal prolonged.
