The outer lip of the aperture is sharp, non-reflected, ascending onto and merging seamlessly with the columella, which lacks folds. An operculum is absent. {{cite journal |last1=Lamarck |first1=J-B de |title=Sur l'Amphibulime. |journal=Annales du Muséum d'histoire naturelle |date=1805 |volume=6 |page=304 |url=https://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/48390922 |access-date=13 March 2025}} {{source-attribution}}
