Shell medium, elongate, whitish-corneous. Lower whorls smooth to indistinctly ribbed, upper ones very densely striate to costate. Neck weakly inflexed, behind the aperture striate to costate. Peristome ovoid to angular. Lamellae superior and spiralis overlap. In front view lamella inferior moderately emerged, subcolumellaris not or barely visible. Lunella dorsal to dorsolateral, weaker toward the basis. Basalis rarely recognizable, never connected to the lunella. Subclaustralis and sulcalis absent. Anterior plica superior mostly does not reach the lunella complex.
