Shell medium, somewhat conical, light reddish-brown. Whorls with wide-spaced, indistinct wrinkle-ribs. Neck inflexed, sharper and more densely costate. Basal and peripheral crests well recognizable. Peristome attached, ovoid, with simple margin. Lamellae superior and spiralis overlap. In front view lamella inferior well emerged, subcolumellaris mostly visible. Lunella dorsal to dorsolateral, fused to the short basalis. Subclaustralis weak, sulcalis well developed. Anterior plica superior mostly separate from the lunella complex.
