Shell oval, moderately depressed, front and side slopes convex, posterior slope concave in the upper part, slightly convex below. Colour yellowish-white, with a row of small, brown spots at each side of the slit and fasciole. Apex placed posteriorly, at about 11/13 of the total length, with a whorl on the right side. Sculpture consisting of rather numerous, thin, radiating riblets, about 33 on each side, which are alternately stronger, with broader interstices, with commonly 3 smaller intermediate riblets. This radiating sculpture is crossed by numerous concentric ridges, giving to the shell the appearance of being covered by elongate granules. Slit-fasciole narrow, laying deep, by the strongly elevated margins, sculptured by rather remote arched lamellae and intermediate striae. Slit long. about 3 mm, large nearly 0,5 mm., its margin thickened interiorly, a rather shallow groove, deep near the slit, with a rather strong rib at each side, runs towards the apex. Interior slightly grooved, white in the centre, yellowish towards the slightly crenulated margin, which is a little raised at the sides. Long. 13 mm., lat. 9,5 mm, alt. 7 mm.

I know no species to which this one is closely allied, its weak though very beautiful sculpture is very peculiar.
