Description

The length of the shell attains 11 mm, its diameter 3.25 mm.

(Original description in Latin) The slightly perforate and elongate-cylindrical shell is translucent, thin, and exhibits a horny or waxy-horny coloration. The protoconch is somewhat blunt. The shell comprises 8.5 flatly convex whorls, delicately striated with growth lines. The body whorl accounts for 9/20 of the total shell length. The suture is distinctly impressed. The aperture is elongate-ovate in shape. The peristome is simple and sharp, with the columellar margin slightly reflexed at the base, nearly covering the perforation. [2]
