The pits between the longitudinal and spiral riblets are oblong and quadrilateral. The body whorl is convex beneath, with close radiating lamellae . The ovate aperture is sulcate inside. The thin outer lip is plicate. The arcuate columella is edentulous and a little reflexed above. The white umbilical tract is striate. The umbilicus is profound. [4]
