Description
The length of the shell attains 44.2 mm, its diameter 20.1 mm.The shell presents a slit-like umbilicus and exhibits an ovate-turreted shape. It feels rather thin and smooth, lying under a horny yellow epidermis that is broadly streaked and banded with bluish- or purplish-brown. The spire has a conical shape and is somewhat blunt, displaying a purple coloration, rarely livid. The suture is submarginate and broadly white-banded. The shell comprisies 6-7 somewhat convex whorls. The body whorl equals 3/4 of the shell's length and is somewhat angled at the base, being encircled by a broad straw-colored band. The aperture is oblique and semi-oval, appearing effuse at the base and violet inside. The peristome is expanded and violet, with its margins joined by a thin callus.
