A. fasciatum is slightly smaller than
T. lividomaculata, which is high, and somewhat wider than that. Its thick, solid shell is depressed and is umbilicate. The six
whorls are smooth, convex and rounded. The
apex is acute. The upper whorls are nearly flat, the last flattened beneath the
suture. The base of the shell is rounded, concave around the
umbilicus. The
aperture is oblique. The outer
lip is finely crenulated within. The
columella is short, arcuate, with a white callus above and two transverse tubercles at its base. The color of the shell is reddish or pale tan to dark brown, usually with irregular, axially distributed splotches of white, and fine spiral lines of alternating reddish and white spots or streaks. A pale band is often present at the periphery of the last whorl. ==Distribution==
