Description
editThe length of the shell varies between 12 mm and 22 mm, its diameter between 3.5 mm and 5 mm.
(Original description) The entire shell is plicated, with widely spaced, slightly raised whorls. It has three deep palatal folds, with the upper one being distinct and the others faint.[2]
(Description originally in Latin of Balea glorifica) A sinistral shell, deeply rimate and fusiform, covered by an epidermis with bluish and cherry-red tones, and lightly striated. It features 8 white, convex whorls with an impressed suture. The spire is swollen, striated, and has anterior plicate ribs. The aperture is pear-shaped and rounded, with a continuous peristome that is slightly reflexed and somewhat thickened. The interior is either white or liver-colored. The spire concludes with a subtly expressed, oblique, striated lamella. The aperture wall is briefly uniplicate near the margin.[2]
