Description

(Original description) The sinistral shell is elongately turreted and scarcely sinuate. Its sculpture has a somewhat distant well marked costulation The colour is white. The spire is rather attenuate and had a blunt apex. The suture is deep. The shell contains six whorls with tumid sides. The body whorl is small, the penultimate whorl much the broadest, those above becoming gradually swollen to the apex. The aperture is small, subvertical and round. The peristome is continuous, closely double. The columellar margin is weak, no tooth, the twist on columella seen within the aperture. ^[2]
