A spreading and partially vertical columellar lamella is the largest tooth occluding the aperture. A basal fold, in the limit between the outer (palatal) and inner (columellar) lip, is small and acutely compressed. One to three (usually two), parallel, equally or subequally sized lowerpalatal folds on the right of the basal fold. A welldeveloped transverse lamella behind the lowerpalatal folds. A twisted entering upperpalatal lamella, in the middle of the outer lip, almost as large as the columellar lamella. Two suprapalatal teeth connected at their base. Peristome thickened and narrowly reflexed in the adults. Measurements and proportions as shown in Table 1.
