The body whorl is rounded and abruptly descends towards the front, featuring a subtle constriction behind the aperture and a compressed area around the umbilicus. The peristome is sinuously curved and reflects inward, displaying a superior internal projection, along with basal thickenings that are somewhat dentiform in nature.
