Description

The length of the shell attains 25 mm, its diameter 10.5 mm.

The shell is sinistral, subperforate, and oblong-conic, appearing rather solid and lightly striate. Its color is white, closely painted with rather wide, nearly straight or somewhat waved black-brown stripes. The spire is slender and conic, with a slightly acute and black vertex; the suture appears shallow and white. Comprising six and a half whorls, the upper ones are convex, while the rest are slightly so, with the body whorl measures two-fifths of the total length and tapers slightly below. The columella appears slightly inflated and rather straightly receding. The aperture is oblique and semi-oval; the peristome is simple and rather broadly expanded, with the columellar margin reflexed and overhanging. [2]

Distribution

This species is endemic to Vietnam
