Description The diameter of the shell attains 1.4 mm. The thin, colorless and transparent shell is flat-coiled. It consists of three whorls, the body whorl rounded and rapidly descending. The suture is moderately deep. The whole surface is distinctly cancellated. The spiral striae are very minute and close together, with 30–50 on the body whorl. The longitudinals are much thicker and wider apart. The umbilicus is wide and deep. The aperture is round, with an entire margin that is not thickened. The thin peristome is continuous.Henn & Brazier (1894), List of Mollusca found at Green Point, Watson's Bay, Sydney; with a few remarks upon some of the most interesting species and descriptions of the new species; Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales v.9 (1894)
