Description
The thin shell is transparent and polished. Its length measures 2.5 mm. It is marked with microscopic spiral striae. Its color is very pale yellowish white or white, darker at the suture. There are 5 to 6 whorls in the teleoconch. The sutures are moderately impressed. There is no umbilicus or a narrow chink in full-grown specimens. The columellar tooth is small, but distinct.[https://archive.org/stream/manualconch08tryorich#page/n5/mode/2up Manual of Conchology vol. VIII], G.W. Tryon (1889); p. 346 : Odostomia pallida
