(Original description) The shell has an ovate fusiform shape. The upper whorls are in flesh colour. The last two are white. A pale brown band appears at the base of the body whorl. The suture is also discoloured by a faint band of the same colour. The shell contains 5 - 6 whorls, sculptured with spiral striae and coarse, somewhat distant transverse ribs which project above the suture. The suture is impressed. The aperture is narrow and oblique. The peristome is thickened and serrated by the spiral striae. The columella descends obliquely. [2]
