Shell medium, light brown, paler along the suture. Lower whorls smooth, upper ones indistinctly striate-costate. Neck weakly inflexed, densely striate behind the aperture. Basal crest weak, peripheral crest not recognizable. Peristome attached, ovoid, with somewhat swollen margin. Lamellae superior and spiralis overlap. In front view lamella inferior well emerged, broadly-bent subcolumellaris not visible. Lunella dorsal-dorsolateral, short and broad, mostly fused to the basalis. Subclaustralis short, sulcalis strong. Anterior plica superior connected to the lunella complex, forward reaches as far as the plica principalis.
