The suture is moderately deep. The whole surface is distinctly cancellated. The spiral striae are very minute and close together, with 30–50 on the body whorl. The longitudinals are much thicker and wider apart. The umbilicus is wide and deep. The aperture is round, with an entire margin that is not thickened. The thin peristome is continuous.[2]
