At the top of each whorl, close to the suture, there is a very narrow, decurrent zone with many longitudinal striae.

These end at the angle at the limit of the zone in a series of small tubercles.

At the base of the body whorl there is a very feeble granular row bordering the umbilical region.

The broad columella is feebly arcuate and ends with a blunt tooth.
