Its coloration spans from brown to whitish hues.

The teleoconch consists of 3 ¼ rounded whorls, axially intersected by 15 to 20 broad, rounded ribs, which become less pronounced towards the margin of the oblong aperture (peristome).

The outer lip features slight crenulations and contains six lirae (fine linear elevations of shelly material).

The periostracum is covered with very short hairs along the spiral lines.
