Description
The length of the shell attains 15 mm, its diameter 18 mm. (Original description) The shell contains 6 whorls. The shell is dextral, narrowly but deeply perforated, with the perforation extending to the apex. It is somewhat solid, oblately globular in shape, with a short conical spire and an acute apex. The surface is lustreless, sculptured with closely spaced, obliquely descending, flexuous growth lines that become concentric around the umbilicus. The whorls of the protoconch are smooth or exhibit delicate radiating sulcations. The shell is brown, with a darker tone on the spire. It consists of six whorls, the upper ones relatively flat and rapidly increasing in size. The body whorl is large, dominating the shell, and strongly angled at the periphery. This angularity fades near the aperture, which is slightly deflexed below the carina. The surface above the angle is flat, becoming slightly convex near the aperture, and rounded below the angle. The suture is well-impressed. The aperture is very oblique, sinuately circular, with a small segment cut off by the penultimate whorl. The interior is livid-white, with the exterior coloration visible through its translucent surface. The peristome is moderately obtuse, slightly thickened within, unreflected, with the extremities slightly converging and joined by a thin callosity. …
