(Original description) The characteristics are close to Propebela rugulata. The spire is somewhat longer than the aperture, and the axial ribs are more numerous than in the typical form.. The apex is obtusely rounded. The first whorl has 3–4 spiral ribs. The operculum is not materially different from the typical one. The teeth, which I have most frequently found, are like those illustrated in the figure with the deep recessment in the side, but the structure differing materially from it occasionally appears.
