The surface is smooth, except for the base which contains two or three very faint concentric striae. The circular aperture has a continuous peristome. The columella has a thick callus that connects to the convexity of the penultimate whorl. it covers for the greater part the umbilicus, that is reduced to a narrow, arched chink. The lip is simple.
