Diagnosis. Shell fusiform, small, protoconch small, 1½ whorls, smooth, spiral ornamentation of rounded threads crossed by axial varices; operculum subelliptical, nucleus subterminal; radula prosiphiine, rachidian teeth absent; laterals with 5 to 8 cusps, the cusps point posteriorly within the animal, slightly decreasing in size from the center to the sides of the radula.
