The outside of the shell is smooth, only concentrically wrinkled at regular distances by larger elevated ridges, the interstices between them being finely striated by parallel lines. Interiorly there is around the apex a narrow circle of detached muscular scars, visible on the nucleus.

The length of the shell is 6 mm, width 4 mm and the height of the shell is 3 mm.
