Dendrofissurella is closely associated with Amblychilepas and Medusafissurella with which it shares radular and shell characters.

The sculpture of the shell shows fine radial ribs.

The mantle folds only slightly envelop the edge of the shell.

The foremost part of the foot (propodium) is elongated by a single, tapering trunk with approximately nine lateral branched that are irregularly placed.

The large outer lateral tooth of the radula is quadricuspid ( = with four cusps).
