7.5 (MNHN-IM-2000-1130) and 4.2 (MNHN-IM-2000-1139) mm high. Teleoconch of
c.
13 whorls. Three spiral cords present, the second appearing on the eleventh whorl. First and third cords with tubercles at the intersection with rather prosocline axial ribs. Second cord initially as a fine thread, but developing thin tubercles towards the peristome. Spiral microsculpture of weakly granulate fine threads. Peristome without additional spiral cords. Posterior sinus deep. Base with two additional spiral cords of which the first developing flat tubercles, the second fine and smooth. Teleoconch light violet, interspaces between the tubercles on the spiral threads brown.
