Descrição original:

(Breure & Vega-Luz, 2020): “Shell up to 27.1 mm height, 1.5 times as long as wide, imperforate, the spire with almost straight sides, rather thin. Colour moss- to dark-green (when alive) to yellowish to transparent with a light yellow-green tone (when dead), with whitish lines irregularly spaced and of variable width axially arranged in a skewed pattern, several connected to each other, with tiny spots or blotches of white between them. Upper whorls pink to purplish. Surface dull; the upper whorls smooth, the last whorl with some indistinct, interrupted spiral grooves. Protoconch with a reticulate sculpture of riblets and spiral striae, which are of equal strength and form a grating pattern. Whorls 5.4, nearly flat except the last whorl which is swollen and saccate, last whorl 0.8 times the total shell height; suture slightly impressed, hardly ascending behind the lip. Aperture ovate, somewhat skewed to the lateral side, 1.6 times longer than wide, 0.59 times the total height. Peristome expanded and reflected, white. Columellar margin curved, reflected, white. Parietal wall with a very thin, transparent callus.”
