Description

The diameter of the shell attains 15.5 mm, its height 13.5 mm. [2]

(Original description) This species differs from the type in several key aspects: it is darker in color, has more tumid whorls, a higher spire, and a wider umbilicus. Additionally, the cuticular lamellae are much less pronounced. One specimen exhibits a pale peripheral band, giving the shell a strong resemblance to Aegista oculus (L. Pfeiffer, 1850). [2]

Distribution

This snail occurs on Honshu Island, Japan. [1]
