. Pale brownish with one whitish band on the periphery and one prominent growth interruption. Upper insertion of the aperture is slightly descending. Peristome is slightly reflected with a pale yellowish internal thickening. It bears a narrow umbilicus, which is not or hardly covered by the reflected peristomial edge. Upper and lower insertion of the peristome are hardly converging and are either not connected or connected by a weakly developed callus. Whorls 51/s56/8. The microsculpture of the protoconch carries regular, narrowly spaced, axial ribs that in some animals seem to transform to elongated pustulation. Teleoconch shiny, with radial growth ridges and without hairs or hair scars.

Penis bulky, thicker and quite distinct in its junction with epiphallus and half the size of the latter. At the junction with the epiphallus a prominent bump is formed. Inside the penis there is a very long tongue-like papilla with many irregular furrows, which folds like a scoop at the edge.
