Size at widest points: 86 mm.
The juvenile whorls form a tightly coiled helical spire covered with a fine ribbing. The body chamber then rolls away from the juvenile whorls before turning back towards them in a 'U' turn. The ribbing gets stronger on the body chamber. The aperture of the body chamber is right underneath the spire, very close to it.
