spirals cross remainder of the base, the lowest often obsolete. The axials begin at same time as the spirals and are narrow, sharp, and distant, the interstices variable but about two to three times their width. The axials number about 18 on the body whorl, very soon dying out below fifth spiral, so that remaining basal spirals are much less crenulated than the others. Points of intersection on higher spirals slightly raised into elongated and rather sharp tubercles.

regularly and gently rounded. There are four thin spirals per whorl, the interstices many times their width. The spirals are equidistant, but show a wider concave space between the first one and suture above. Another strong spiral emerges on the base from the suture-line, and 4 weaker but similar

The aperture is ovate, oblique, projecting basally. The peristome is continuous. The outer 353: 435: 33: 494: 340:
