Description

This narrowly umbilicated, very depressed shell is thin, minutely granulose under magnification, and longitudinally impressed with fine growth lines. Chestnut-brown with rare yellowish-straw spots, it features a sub-flattened spire with an obtuse apex and an impressed suture. Four flattened, rapidly increasing whorls are present, the upper 2.5 violaceous-brown, and the body whorl bordered with yellow at the suture. The body whorl is large, sub-depressed above, angulate-keeled slightly above the periphery, and has a convex, inflated base, sub-angulate around the umbilicus. The umbilicus area is dark chestnut, encircled by a pale yellow zone. The large, very oblique, elliptical-ovate aperture is bluish-white inside. The bluish-white peristome is widely reflexed, with margins joined by a thin callus, and the outer margin dilated medially and near the insertion.
