The shell of this species measures up to 5.5 cm across and is reddish brown to black with two distinct yellow bands.

This nocturnal animal feeds upon leaf litter, fungi and lichen, making these substances its primary diet.

These threats include, but are not limited to animals that have been introduced to the snail’s small habitat such as rats and birds.

Other major threats consist of the use of herbicides and pesticides, fires, weed invasion, and is also largely tied to deforestation.

This critically endangered snail is now largely restricted to a range of less than 5 km2 of remnant lowland rainforest, scattered around the Tweed, Byron and Ballina Shires of northern New South Wales.
