Description

The length of the shell attains 49 mm, its diameter 28 mm.

(Original description) This sinistral shell is oblong-ovate, perforate, solid, and glossy, exhibiting oblique striations. The ground color is either yellow or rich brown, sometimes with two or three darker brown spiral bands in the latter case. It consists of seven convex whorls, with the suture deeply impressed and marked by a narrow, white spiral band. The outer lip and the columella are broadly expanded and slightly reflected, their margins joined by a thin, transparent callus. The columella is more or less deflected at its point of insertion. ^[2]
