Amalda miriky is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Ancillariidae. [1]
The length of the shell attains 53 mm
The shell is fusiform with a large, dome-shaped protoconch, the first whorl having a diameter of approximately 1.25 mm. Both the primary and secondary calluses are densely and distinctly micro-shagreened. The olivoid groove is very shallow and barely noticeable. The anterior band is divided by a prominent fasciolar ridge into an upper and a lower band, with the upper band being twice as wide as the lower.
The upper anterior band features a distinct ridge, rounded at the top. The body whorl varies in color from light yellow to light orange, while the olivoid band is pale. The upper anterior band is orange-brown, and the lower anterior band and plication plate are white. The primary callus is orange-brown, and the spire whorls exhibit a slight bluish tint. The protoconch shares the same color as the primary callus. [2]
