Two lenticular, terrestrial snail shells. The shells are off-white in color and have a singular dark purple color band on the body whorl which fades to a chestnut color then to yellow at the apex. The shells have four whorls with very shallow sutures. The umbilici are semi-open. The shells are dextral with ellipse-shaped apertures. Inside the apertures are four denticles.
