(Original description) This shell is shorter and somewhat thinner than Amphidromus contrarius , with less convex whorls. The interrupted markings of this species are smaller and more widely spaced, fading on the body whorl. The last half-whorl is plain, except for two basal bands. A spiral band of equidistant small brown spots encircles the suture of the upper whorls just below. ^[2]
