Description

(Original description in Latin) The acute shell is chrysalis-shaped and narrowly perforate. It displays a chestnut-brown color. The aperture appears almost disjoint from the spire and features a more or less double peristome, where the inner lamella is incised posteriorly. The operculum is horny, multispiral, circular, and flattened. [https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/9492694 Gould, A. A. (1862). Descriptions of new genera and species of shells.
