The sinus is at the periphery, rather slight and square-cut at the apex of a broadly open V. Apical whorls unknown. The shell is covered by a greenish-grey periostracum. Operculum oval, with a terminal nucleus. Radula of modified wishbone-type, marginals only, which are long and slender, with the distal limb severed.
