The 5½ convex whorls are encircled by numerous spiral lirae.

They are clathrate with regular, elevated lamellae of growth, especially prominent between the lirae.

The spiral lirae number 9 or 10 on the penultimate whorl, every alternate one slightly larger.

The aperture is about half the length of shell, rounded, silvery inside, and sulcate.
