« Shell of medium size for the family (3-4 mm), white semitransparent, rather broadly conical, regularly curved. Protoconch of only the embryonic whorls, indicating a non-planktotropic development. Teleoconch of 4.5-5 smooth, nearly straight whorls with a false suture more evident than the real one. Several incremental scars are evident producing distinct dips at the real suture. The periphery has a slightly keeled appearance. The aperture is classical for the genus, small, rounded anteriorly and low. The outer lip is protruding at its medium height. […] The name derives from the area of the mediterranean where the original material has been collected, namely the Levant basin. » – Oliverio & al.: “A new Eulimid Gastropod from the Eastern Mediterranean sea”, Bollettino Malacologico vol. 30, Milano 1994, p.212.
