Gemmula albina (Lamarck 1822)

Gemmula albina

provided by wikipedia EN

Gemmula albina is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turridae, the turrids.[1]

Description

The keel-rib is flattened, bearing a row of equidistant, somewhat quadrangular brown spots. The rest of the surface is very minutely and numerously punctate with brown.

The conspicuous painting on the slit-band, contrasted with the very minute sprinkling of brown dots elsewhere, is the distinguishing characteristic of this species. [2]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off Papua New Guinea.
