Description

The sinistral shell is elongate-conical, appearing scarcely perforate. It is thin and very glossy. It is elegantly ornamented with yellowish-white spots and brown bands. Comprising six convex whorls that increase regularly, it features a very dark apex. The body whorl measures 2/5 the length of the shell, displaying two decurrent bands below and remote, simple flammules above, all intersected by a median white line. The aperture presents a broadly ovate shape with translucent diaphanous bands. The columella appears somewhat arched, and the peristome is slightly reflected and pure white.
