Description of Pilsbry: "Shell ovate, depressed-convex, rufous; vertex submucronate, usually eroded, situated at 2/3 of the length; having larger and smaller radiating broad, very scaly ribs, scales subimbricating, obtuse, lenticular; margin undulating; interior bluish, silvery-pearly, rayed with bands and spots of purplish, the center spatulate." Length 44.0 mm; Width 36.0 mm; Height 19.0 mm.

This species, which Powell has not seen, appears to be a distinctive one, with its very-scaly prominent radial ribs.
