Shell small, elongate fusiform, thin and fragile, white, turreted, 
axially costate and spirally striated. Sculpture consisting of nar- 
rowly rounded, slightly oblique axial riblets, about 16 on the last 
whorl, nearly continuous over the whorls, obsolete on the base, the 
interstices slightly broader than the riblets; they are crossed by 
spiral threads, 4 fine and close together on the shoulder, 1 on the carina 
of the whorl and 3 below it, the uppermost of these at some distance 
from the keel; the crossing-points produced into small oval gem- 
mules ; the base is spirally striate, all the striz in front of the aper- 
ture being smooth. Colour white. Spire elevated conic, turriculate, 
nearly 14 times the height of the aperture. Protoconch globular, 
of 14 smooth whorls, the nucleus broadly rounded. Whorls 6, regularly 
increasing, with a high sloping shoulder, the keel on the spire-whorls 
near the middle, flat above and below the keel; base contracted. 
Suture somewhat impressed, lightly margined below. Aperture 
pyriform, broadly: angled above, with a short, broad, oblique, and 
truncated canal below. Outer lip convex, thickened by an axial 
rib, slightly angled above and somewhat contracted below, with a 
.shallow broad sinus at the suture. Columella slightly oblique, lightly 
excavated towards the straight parietal wall, curved below, and ex- 
tending to the left margin of the canal ; imner lip thin, narrow, smooth. 
Diam., 3-2 mm. ; height, 7°5 mm. 
Type i in the Canterbury Museum, Christchurch. 
Remarks.—The species is closely related to M. dictyota, Hutt., 
which, however, has less axial riblets, the angle of the shoulder is 
above the middle of the spire-whorls, and the protoconch is much 
smaller, with a minutely pointed nucleus.
