The shell is elongate conical, and the whorls moderatly convex. The aperture is only slightly separated from the parietal wall and the outer lip is strongly reflected.
The penial lobe is in the middle section of the penis and is thus similar to that seen in typical species of Fluviopupa but differs from most members of that genus in lacking a seminal receptacle.
