Amalda tindalli is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Ancillariidae. [1]
The taxonomy status is uncertain. [1]
The length of the shell attains 17 mm, its diameter 8 mm.
(Original description in Latin) The shell is oblong-fusiform, tapering gracefully at the apex, and exhibits a highly glossy surface in shades of pale straw-yellow to ochreous. It comprises seven to eight whorls, the first three being apical, translucent, and glass-like, while the remaining are subtly grooved transversely just below the sutures, with the interspaces adorned by a chestnut hue. The body whorl is minimally expanded, displaying a cinnamon-chestnut ochreous tone at its midsection, delicately lined when viewed under magnification, and accented near the base by a pale chestnut band. The aperture is ovate-oblong, whitish on the interior, with an outer lip that is only slightly flared. The columellar margin is subtly thickened, enhancing the overall lustrous appearance. [2]
