The height of the shell attains 4.5 mm, its diameter 8 mm. The imperforate shell has a depressed, suborbicular shape. The short spire consists of 5 convex whorls, that increase rapidly in size. It contains many white, filiform spiral threads. There is a large, round aperture, that is iridescent inside.[4]
