Original Description

Shell slenderly conical, with seven distinct strictures. Eight joints of nearly equal length, gradually increasing in breadth. Along the three last joints arise three prominent crests, which are prolonged over the wide mouth into three divergent, conical feet, half as long as the shell. Cephalis hemispherical, with a conical, slender, curved horn, three times the length. Pores subregular, hexagonal.

Size:
Length of the shell (with eight joints) 0.16, of each single joint (on an average) 0.02; basal breadth 0.07.
