Description
[edit]The length of this shell attains 31 mm, its diameter 17.5 mm
(Original description in Latin) The sinistral shell is ovate-conical, exhibiting a slightly striatulate and somewhat glossy surface with a yellowish-white base color. It is painted at the base with two black and two yellow bands, and features a pink umbilical region and a brownish-black apex. Comprising six somewhat convex whorls, the shell possesses an ovate aperture that occupies three-sevenths to four-ninths of its length. The peristome appears moderately thickened and shortly expanded, displaying a brownish-violet hue. The columellar margin is strongly dilated and reflected, showing a bifid (two-pronged) and paler appearance, and features a single tooth-like projection on the parietal callus at the outer angle.[2]
Distribution
[edit]This species is endemic to Timor Island.
