Shell rimate, cylindric-fusiform, small, the apex attenuated, obtuse,

 shining ; corneous-whitish, variegated with pellucid-corneous. Spire 

 fusiform-turreted, a little obtuse. Whorls 9, a trifle convex, the first 

 buff-corneous, nearly smooth, the rest whitish, variegated with pellucid- 

 corneous spots, the last whorl pellucid corneous ornamented with 

 close whitish striae, one-fourth the total length. Scrobiculate at the 

 side and base, the latter shortly two-crested. Aperture suboval, con- 

 tracted by 5 teeth : a compressed one in the middle of the parietal 

 margin, the second horizontal, twisted, on the columella, a third 

 within the base, the fourth, compressed, and fifth small, close together 

 within the outer lip (Doer., Per. Zool.).
