Description

The length of the shell attains 35 mm, its diameter 17 mm.
The sinistral shell is elongate-conical. It presents a somewhat solid structure and a slightly finely striated, glossy surface. The body whorl displays a grayish-brown coloration, adorned with narrow whitish bands. All the upper whorls appear yellowish-whitish, exhibiting blackish, somewhat rhombic spots that are interrupted by a band, with the uppermost whorls being white and the very apex black. The aperture is oblong-ovate, angled below, and brown on the inside, occupying about 2/5 of the shell's length. The peristome feels somewhat thickened and white, showing a shortly reflected lip and a scarcely noticeable parietal callus. The columellar margin appears somewhat straight and dilated.
The whorls appear less convex than in Amphidromus contrarius. The ground color is either light or dark brown, featuring one or more narrow lighter-colored bands that encircle the whorls, and sometimes displaying a reticulated band at the periphery, which continues at the suture of the upper whorls.
