 solid, yellow or tawny, with some narrow darker or chestnut 

 streaks on the spire. Surface very glossy, finely and deeply

 conic with straight sides and obtuse apex. Suture irregularly 

 crenulate. Aperture vertical, flesh-tinted inside. Outer lip 

 obtuse, forming a regular arch. Columella moderately concave, 

 obliquely truncate at base.

 prominent and more deeply truncate columella." (Pilsbry.)
