Shell small, thin, semi-transparent, not very lustrous, 

 varying in shape from depressed subglobose to depressed 

 suborbicular, with delicate short and rather deciduous 

 hairs, rufous horn-colour, varying in intensity, sometimes a 

 little variegated by the stage of growth being indicated 

 by darker shades, not granular, more or less strongly 

 wrinkled lengthways, occasionally subangulated, and in 

 that case with an obscure pallid spiral band upon the 

 angulation. Spire a little raised ; apex more or less 

 blunt. Whorls five or six, moderately convex, not rapidly 

 enlarging ; the last not ventricose, nor distinctly deflected. 

 Aperture small, crescent-shaped, usually more or less 

 depressed, and consequently broader than high, not equal 

 in width to half the total diameter. Peristome acute, 

 neither reflected nor patulous, ribbed with white internally,
