). Columella in juveniles with a strong lamella that is reduced and covered by a thickening of the inner edge of the lip in adults. Adults do not show a short projection or angular edge where the columellar lamella was located. Parietal lamella is often undulate, usually with three peaks, extending 0.2 to 0.5 whorls into the aperture. Shell color is white, pale tan or dark brown, with or without irregularly placed axial bands of brown, or with a single peripheral band of pale tan or dark brown. Specimens occasionally pale tan with two poorly defined dark bands on either side of a pale tan peripheral band.
