The shell comprises five moderately convex whorls with a well-impressed suture. The aperture is semi-orbicular, with a sinuous outer lip that is moderately thickened and sharp, yet well-reflected except at the extremities. The shell also has a broad and shallow slit.
Distribution
This species occurs in Jamaica.
