Shell covered with rounded idiosomes, regularly arranged. The border of the collar is finely undulated. A number of small striations extend from the border towards the aperture for about 1/3 of the diameter of the collar. Just as the body, the collar is ornamented with idiosomes, but these are slightly oval and arranged in circles.
