Description
The shell reaches 6.4 mm in length in the holotype, although paratypes up to 8.8 mm long have been reported. The shell is small, slightly translucent, lightweight but solid, and has a notably inflated pyriform shape. Its dorsum is pale flesh-colored to orangish pink and bears deep transverse striations that extend onto the base. The base is strongly convex and slightly paler than the dorsum. The anterior ridge and posterior portion of the outer lip are strongly crenulated, and the species is distinguished from other members of the genus by the arrangement of its denticles and teeth.
