Diagnoza

Protoconch paucispiral. Demarcation of teleoconch clearly visible, prosocline.  Shell glossy, tower-like, not ornamented apart from growth lines. Suture very weakly incised, whorls almost flat. Inner lip straight, with umbilical chink.

Porównanie

Similar to Pseudomelania laevigata (Morris & Lycett, 1850) but differs from it by having an umbilical chink. The protoconch of the latter species is unknown and comparison with that of P. paucispira is therefore impossible.
