Two lenticular, terrestrial snail shells. The shells are light brown in color, are absent of typical ornamentation and are instead smooth and glass-like on the surface. The shells are dextral and have five whorls, which become bulbous approaching the semicircular apertures. The lips of the shells are thin and do not reflect onto the shells' bodies. |
