[edit]The height of the shell attains 4 mm, its greatest diameter 6 mm.
(Original description) The shell is brown or lemon yellow, very solid, with an outer lip that is exceptionally thick and always lemon yellow. In other characteristics, it resembles Helicina albolabris, potentially representing a variety with greater divergence. The epidermis is very finely, but not densely hirsute. [2]
