having 6 principal and usually several smaller teeth: parietal lamella rather long; angular and infraparietal short and smaller. Columellar lamella large, ascending inwardly. Upper and lower palatal folds strong, the lower longer. Basal fold stout, in a subcolumellar position. Usually there are small suprapalatal and infrapalatal denticles. Peristome is thin, a little expanded, the outer margin biarcuate, with a median entering angle. Palatal callus is well developed. The width of the adult shell varies from 1.2 to 1.4 mm, the height from 1.95-2.25 mm.
