[edit] Description
The shells are minute, solid, depressed-turbinate, widely umbilicated, sculptured with strong spiral keels, their interstices either smooth, or with weak axial growth threads. The suture is indistinct and impressed. The aperture is circular, with a heavy peristome, more internally thickened than externally variced.
