Entire shell glossy, finely pitted, teleoconch streaked by occasional, uneven growth lines. Thin, widely spaced ribs behind peristome extend 1/6 the surface of the last whorl and overlap radial striations of varying thickness embedded within the shell matrix of the last whorl. Aperture heart-shaped, reinforced by thick callus; parietal shield extends to over half the height of the preceding whorl. Apertural dentition three-fold with the parietal lamella and the upper palatal tooth well-formed but not swollen, together forming a round sinulus. Upper columellar side of the aperture shows slight angularity and a low, weak columellar denticle close to peristome. Sinulus opening not shifted laterally but on the same plane as the rest of the aperture. Parietal lamella slender, twisting slightly to the right at the front of the aperture, directed towards the opposing palatal denticle. The parietal lamella forms a smooth ridge which narrows as it continues deep into the shell. Peristome expanded and slightly reflected; umbilicus slit-like, straight columella visible through transparent shell.</paragraph>
