Aperture oval, slightly sloping forwards; peristome rather thin, oblique, not bordered on the outside; columellar margin excavated, slightly reflected outwards and fully covering the umbilical region,” (translated from Cossmann 1912: 95).
“ Species of Acirsa are characterized by a solid shell with broad axial ribs, and the absence of a basal cord and basal disc. Spiral sculpture of incised spiral groves is usually present.” ( Bouchet & Warén 1986: 526).
