Shell « pale, semi-transparent; 5 very convex whorls, the first (protoconch) attenuated. Suture deep. About 30/40 spiral streaks on the last whorl, 15 on the penultimate. Thin umbilical fold. Comparing this undoubtedly new species with all the others of the subgenus (cf. plate R IV of Vol. III) one realizes that it does not exist any other species approachable to it is for the convexity of the whorls, the number of spirals and the shell measurements. » – F. Nordsieck: “Molluschi dei fondali della platea continentale fra la Corsica e la Sardegna”, La Conchiglia vol. 61, p.475.
