Remarks.

This is a new record for Penang Hill. The shell periphery is angular with a spiral thread visible above the suture of the penultimate whorl. Above the shell, the apical whorls are unknown, followed by regularly placed shallow radial ribs on the subsequent whorls. Below the shell, there are densely spaced spiral grooves at the periphery, which reduce towards the umbilicus.
