Descrição original:

(Pilsbry, 1911): “The shell is imperforate, ovate-conic, thin, glossy, sufficiently transparent to show the columellar axis faintly through the shell, pale yellow. The spire is straightly conic with an obtuse, rounded apex. Whorls 6%, but slightly convex. The first 1 1/2 whorls are smooth, the first one wide, the next decidedly narrower; near the end of the second whorl fine vertical striae appear.

The remaining whorls of the spire are weakly plicate, the folds moderately strong near the suture, weakening rapidly and disappearing downward, and on the last whorl nearly or quite obsolete. There are also fine, rather weak growth-striae, and under a strong lens in favorable light, a very minute and extremely weak spiral striation is visible in places. The last whorl is nearly smooth. Aperture semioval; outer lip slightly obtuse, smooth-edged, a trifle sinuous.

Columella very short, bearing a median, very strong, spirally entering lamella. Length 9, diam. 4.8 mm.; length of the aperture 4 mm.”
