The 4-6 x 6-10 mm shell has 4.5-5 convex whorls with moderate suture. It is slightly shouldered above the periphery, the aperture is usually without a lip inside and the umbilicus is very narrow, and partly covered by the reflected columellar margin. The shell is pale brown, very finely striated, thin and transparent.[4]
