Description
The adult size of the shell of this species of dove snail can be between 6 mm and 10 mm in length.[2] The body whorl is sometimes carinate (having a pronounced keel), sometimes less so, and sometimes not at all. The shell color is quite variable; it can also be one uniform color or patterned with two shades of color.
