Bandel, 2007, p. 111:

• "The spire has simple axial ribs and intercalated varices. The medium sized shell (about 2–3 cm high) has a broad, thick outer lip that is thickened and bears two lobes at its outer lip. One lobe is directed upward or to the side and a second blunter lobe is directed downward. The interior of the outer lip is smooth and the inner lip has a thin callus."
