(Original description in Latin) The shell is trochiform (top-shaped) and very thick. The apex is mucronate and stiliform, tapering into a sharp, needle-like point. The base is flattened, while the aperture is very small, highly oblique, and circular in shape. This opening is positioned almost horizontally. Finally, the lip is extremely thick and very widely expanded.[2]
