Description: Shell umbilicate; whorl circular in cross section; suture deeply impressed. Sculpture of regular spiral cords on entire body whorl and evenly rounded base; axial sculpture lacking. Calcareous operculum multispiral on both sides, not retractable deeper than aperture.
Spiromoelleria differs from Moelleria in lacking wavy axial sculpture. That there are two species is a strong point in support of the need for generic separation from Moelleria.
