Body whorl obliquely flattened, not narrowed, with an indistinct keel. A slight external indentation accompanies the palatalis superior, a stronger one corresponds with the infraparietalis. The palatal side of the aperture slightly leaning forward (in lateral view). Umbilicus open. Shell height, 6.8–8.8 mm; width, 2.2–2.7 mm.

Apertural lip moderately to strongly thickened, sometimes with some minor plicae; parietal edges connected by a faint callus. Angularis connected with spiralis. Subangularis lamelliform, prominent. A more or less well developed infraparietalis is present. Columellaris longer than infracolumellaris, reaching the edge of the aperture. Infrapalatalis, palatalis inferior and palatalis superior clearly indented and reaching up to the edge of the aperture. A suprapalatalis and a weak suturalis are present at the dorsal anterodorsal palatal centre.
