Shell large, purplish-brown with strong whitish overlay. Lower whorls are opaque and densely striate, upper ones increasingly glossy with diffuse striae. Neck not or barely inflexed, basal and peripheral crests very weak. Peristome attached, with somewhat swollen margin. Lamellae superior and spiralis overlap. In front view lamella inferior well emerged, subcolumellaris mostly hidden. Lunella dorsal-dorsolateral, fused to the long basalis. Subclaustralis short. Anterior plica superior mostly separate from the lunella complex.
