==Description==
Benson described the shell of ''Carinaria galea'' in detail as "Shell dextral, with the last whorl incurved, compressed, conical, nearly embracing the terminal spire, marked with transverse rugae, broadly keeled. Keel with very oblique rugae, which are curved upwards in the direction of the spire. Aperture transverse, ovate, narrowed towards the keel."
It is a large snail reaching a total body length of . The shell is conical, taller than it is wide, and has a well-developed keel. The body is slender and cylindrical and cannot be retracted into the shell. It has a thin skin with a few large tubercles. The body is transparent and the mouthparts, gut and dark retinas can easily be seen. A pigmented area containing the main body organs is concealed in the shell alongside about six gills. The tail region has a low crest. On the opposite side of the animal to the shell is a large rounded swimming fin with a sucker. The animal swims by undulating the fin from side to side.
