Descrição original:

(Pilsbry & Cockrell, 1937): “The umbilicus is contained about six times in diameter. The spire is only slightly convex. The whorls are weakly convex in the inner, concave in the outer half, the last whorl descending slowly below the very acute peripheral keel, the base being concave below the keel, convex towards the umbilicus. The color (dead) is light buff, with very faint indications of a brownish band above the keel. The dull surface is very closely granulose, the granules pustuliform, indistinctly arranged along light erowth-striae, but in places forming short oblique trends. The peristome is well expanded and, so far as preserved, reflected basally, but most of the basal margin is broken away. Height 8.5 mm. (estimated) ; diam. 27.7 mm.”
