Description The length of the shell attains 48 mm, its diameter 23 mm.
(Original description in Latin) The shell is nearly imperforate and can be either dextral or sinistral. It exhibits a solid structure and a finely striated surface. It features a greenish subepidermis that appears more darkly lined and radially worn white. The spire presents a conical shape with a somewhat acute, dark violet apex. The shell contains seven somewhat convex whorls, the uppermost display violet bands, while the body whorl is shorter than the spire and tapers at the base. The columella is inflated, somewhat straight, and violet in color. The aperture lies slightly oblique and has a truncate-oval form, appearing white inside. The peristome is thickened and reflected, showing a lilac hue, with its margins joined by a blackish-chestnut callus. The columellar margin is dilated, arching-reflected, and somewhat adnate.
Distribution This species is endemic to Thailand.
