Description
The shell is semi-globose and very thin. The color of the shell is olive-green or brown-tinted olive in color; somewhat shining but not glossy. The surface is closely and strongly corrugated. The corrugation rather is regular, though sometimes folds split or are intercalated. Spire is conic. The shell has 3½-4 moderately convex whorls. The last whorl is globose. The suture is slowly descending in front. Aperture is rounded-ovate, very oblique, the outer lip thin, its upper end inserted at or near the periphery of the penultimate whorl. The columellar lip is very thin and regularly arcuate.
The width of the shell is 10.7-14 mm; the height of the shell is 11.7-14 mm. The width of the aperture is 9.5 mm; the longest axis of the aperture is 12.4 mm.
