. Shell shape varies a little intraspecifically but other shell features almost constant. Penultimate whorl and body whorl together comprise about 67% of total shell height. Aperture (including peristome) comprises about 34% of total shell height. Peristome complete, thickened and reflected and flaring. Body whorl strongly constricted adjacent to the aperture, especially along the excision corresponding to the palatal slab, such that the palatal side of the body whorl is divided into two regions. Columella relatively straight but body whorl occludes any umbilicus, the visible suture being the junction of the body whorl and penultimate whorl. Apertural dentition well-developed, occluding much of the aperture, and consistently with five processes, although the three columellar processes are little more than folds on the columella and so the dentition could be considered less than five-fold.Apertural processes are as follows: (1) a large, thick, palatally directed and deeply entering parietal lamella projecting outwards a very short distance from the body whorl and corresponding to an outwardly and palatally directed V-shaped depression in the parietal callus; (2) a strong, slab-like palatal process, curved inwardly on the columellar side and nearly straight along its upper margin, and corresponding to a very long and deep excision on the palatal side of the body whorl; and (35) three slight, simple, and deeply set folds on the columella, the two upper folds being much smaller than the basal one. Resulting apertural dentition formula

Parieto-palatal sinus narrow, tubular and directed palatally at an angle of 7590° from the columella, almost closed in front by the near-meeting of the margins of the parietal lamella and palatal slab along a straight line, resulting in a conspicuous narrow slit. Parietal callus thick and clearly distinct from body whorl, being separated from it by a detectable groove.

, ribs occur at a density of about 13 per mm (penultimate whorl) and about 12 per mm (body whorl). On palatal side of body whorl, ribs continue only as far as the long excision corresponding to the palatal slab, being replaced by much finer, irregular ribs beneath the excision. Finer, irregular ribs also replace the major axial ribs on the columellar side of the body whorl.
