Material – 116 specimens.

Description – Shell medium-sized (SL: 14–33). Spire of low to moderate height, outline concave. Spiral whorls smooth. Shoulder rounded. Body whorl ventricosely conical, outline convex, smooth with fine and dense spiral ridges at the anterior end. Subsutural flexure asymmetrically curved.

Remarks – The Letkés material is close to the type, but shows slight variety of the shell-width. The species resembles C. steinabrunnensis in morphology; however, it differs in narrower spire, and in remarkably rounded shoulder. It also differs from C. miovoeslauensis in concave spire and wider shoulder, and from D. berghausi in narrower body whorl.
