The height of the shell attains 6 mm, its diameter 4½ mm. The ovate-conical, slightly perforate shell is dull whitish. It is painted on the lirae with lilac-brown tessellations, somewhat formed into flammules. The five whorls are convex, and separated by profound sutures, ridged by delicate spiral lirae articulated with lilac-brown. The shell shows oblique incremental lines. The pearly aperture is circular, equalling ½ the total length. The columella is a trifle thickened. The terminations of the peristome are joined by a thin callus.The elongate brownish-lilac spots on the lirations are situated somewhat irregularly underneath each other, so as to form flammulations.
