The spire is short, and it comprises five whorls, with the body whorl being very large. The aperture is reddish, and its margins are white. (Described in Latin as Ampullaria malabarica) The smooth shell is ovate and narrowly umbilicate. it is olive-colored and unicolored. The spire nearly equals one-third of the total height and is somewhat tabulated. The whorls are horizontal at the suture, and there appear radially somewhat rugose, with the body whorl being slightly attenuated towards the base. The aperture is ovate-oblong, and the peristome is internally thickened.
