Description
(Original description in Latin) The shell is very small, smooth, and glossy, of a tawny or horn-like color. It is marked by thick, nodose longitudinal ribs. It has five or six whorls, which are banded with white. The columella bears three folds, and the shell measures approximately four lines in length (roughly about 8–9 mm long). [2]
