Size: maj. diam. 10-0, min. 7'0, alt. axis 6*5 mm. Compared with the Burmese species hitherto known this is nearest to S. birmanica, but is higher in the spire, and the second whorl is more tumid, the lamella is more strongly developed. 13.

Apert. parva, obliqua, late piriformis; perist. continuum, breviter solutum, expansiusculum. Lamellae modicce, compressor, approximates; supera marginalis, parum alta, intus humil/ima, cum spirali videtur continua; infera sublimis, subhorizontaliter in medium aperturam prosiliens, antice in denticulum desinens, a basi intuenti valde spiraliter torta ; subcolumellaris subemersa, oblique intuenti distinctissima. Plica principalis profunda, lateralis, in apertura antice vix conspicua; palatales 2, altera supera, principali approximata et parallela, altera infera cum clausilio perspicuo lunellam lateralem, magis minusve distinctam, fingente."
