The length of the shell attains 6 mm, its diameter 2¼ mm.

(Original description in Latin) The shell is imperforate and short-turreted. It is characterized by its thin, translucent structure adorned with arched, incised striations. It has a hyaline, horny texture, displaying a very glossy, pale yellowish hue. The spire is conical with a somewhat blunt apex, consisting of 6 flatly convex whorls. The body whorl is notably enlarged, occupying more than one-third of the shell's total length. The aperture is semi-oval with simple margins, and the columella is sinuous, briefly revolute at the upper end.[2]
