The length of the shell attains 7 mm, its diameter 3 mm.The shell is sinistral and features a very short umbilical cleft. It is turreted in form, thin in substance, and characterized by a glossy, pellucid surface with fine striations. The coloration is a pale horn-tint, elegantly adorned with a single reddish-brown band. The spire is notably elongated and terminates in a sharp apex.
There are 7 whorls, which are relatively flat in profile. The body whorl constitutes approximately one-quarter of the total shell length; it is rounded at the base and equipped with an oblique lamella situated on the parietal wall of the aperture. The columella is slightly twisted and folded.
The aperture is semi-oval and situated at an oblique angle. The peristome is thin and slightly expanded. At the upper portion, the columellar margin is dilated and reflexed back over the shell.
