The shell is glassy. The first whorls are smooth any shiny. The last whorls are prominently and irregularly striated. The shell contains 5-5.5 slowly increasing step-like whorls with a moderately impressed suture. The upper side is nearly flat, the lower side rounded or with a rather triangular outline. The periphery has a blunt edge in the upper section. The body whorl width is 1.5times that of the penultimate whorl. The umbilicus is very narrow, 1/20 of diameter.[2]
