The length of the shell varies between 4 mm and 6.4 mm.
The orange-banded shell is ovately oblong. The whorls have a narrow shoulder. They are longitudinally strongly ribbed with white, obtuse ribs close-set.
This species was described and figured by Reeve a few months later, under the name of Mangilia luteofasciata, and without locality.
