Of the three poorly preserved specimens described by Baluk in 2006, one is 5.6 mm high ad 2.22 mm wide while another specimen is 2.8 mm wide. [2]
Specimens from Kostej and Lapugy in Transylvania described by Boettger in 1901 are characterized by a variable number of axial ribs on the penultimate whorl: 27-41. In 1907, he describes specimens from Korytnica with 24-28 axial ribs. [3] [4]
