Description

The length of the shell attains 34 mm, its diameter 14 mm.

(Original description in Latin) The sinistral shell is somewhat perforate, presenting an oblong-conical shape and a thin structure. Its surface appears very finely striatulate and slightly glossy, displaying a yellow base color that is painted with close-set thread-like green streaks. The spire rises in an elongate-conical form, featuring a somewhat acute, reddish apex. The shell contains seven scarcely convex whorls. The upper ones are sometimes brown-checkered, while the body whorl almost equals two-thirds of the shell's length, appearing somewhat angled in the middle and tapering and somewhat compressed at the base. The columella is slightly thickened and twisted, exhibiting a pale lilac hue. The aperture lies obliquely and has a semi-oval form, appearing somewhat effuse at the base. The peristome is thin and expanded, displaying a lilac-pink color. ^[2]
