(Original description) The shell is somewhat acuminately oblong and rather thick, exhibiting a sinistral coiling and being scarcely umbilicated. It comprises seven whorls that appear somewhat rounded and obliquely striated. The columella is reflected, and the aperture is rather small with a reflected outer lip. The shell displays a yellow base color marbled with olive-green, while the interior of the aperture is a very dark brown, and the lip is white.[2]
