Aperture subcircular, prosocline, peristome interrupted in parietal region; columella lip duplex, with thin outer layer protruding slightly beyond thicker inner layer; basal lip thickened and weakly notched at termination of outer two cords bordering umbilicus; outer lip simple, notched at end of shoulder cord and shallowly concave between this and its insertion on penultimate whorl; interior somewhat thickened, inner layer opaque and chalky.
