  • (from Jung, 1974) "Shell small, inflated, involute. Line of greatest diameter situated a little above the middle of the height of the shell. (average size 7 mm, note of editor) Surface smooth except for indistinct growth lines and a few faint, oblique grooves near the base of he columella. Parietal callus only weakly developed. Outer lip somewhat thickened and sinuous, prosocyrth on lower part and opistocyrth on upper part of the shell. The outer lip extends above the apex, were it forms a pointed structure which is hiding the actual apex. Stromboid notch rudimentary. Columella slightly bent backwards near base."
