J. B. Knight 1941Small, subtrochiform, minutely phaneromphalous gastropods with gently oblique outer lip; whorl profile moderately arched between sutures; sutures only moderately deep; nucleus simple, dextral, not set off from the succeeding whorls; base somewhat flatly rounded, minutely phaneromphalous; columellar lip gently arcuate, thin, its upper part slightly reflexed about the minute umbilicus; parietal inductura thin; outer lip thin, gently oblique backwards from the upper suture, very slightly convex forward; ornamentation very faint lines of growth only; shell thin, its structure unknown; color pattern two revolving dark bands. The holotype measures about 10 mm. in height, 6 mm. in width, and has a pleural angle of about 45 degrees.
