The height of the shell attains 3 mm and its diameter 5 mm. The white, solid, and deeply umbilicated shell has a depressed shape.

It is slightly transversely furrowed. The shell contains four whorls, with the last one rapidly increasing in size. It is distinguished by regular longitudinal flame markings becoming small, paler, and more zigzagged below the somewhat angled periphery, and all uniting round the umbilicus in a red band.

The aperture is ovate-triangular. The lip is simple. The columellar margin is thickened. [2]
