Contents

Acrista latirella is a species of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Clathurellidae. [1]

Description

The length of the shell attains 4.5 mm, its diameter 1.5 mm.

(Original description) The small shell is fusiform and turreted. The eight whorls have little decussation and other point of distinction. The apical whorls are glassy and shining. The rest are impressed at the suture. They are very coarsely costate and roughly lirate. The lirae are white, the interstices fulvous. The body whorl is attenuate at the base and only slightly produced. The aperture is narrow, the sinus ample and profound. The outer lip is at the base slightly incrassate. The three inner denticles of the outer lip, of the columella and off the sutural tooth are all tinged fulvous red. [2]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off the Loyalty Islands and New Caledonia.
