Anisogemmula albina is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turridae, the turrids. [1]
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]
This marine species occurs off Papua New Guinea.
