Austroliotia pulcherrima is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Liotiidae. [1]
The height of the shell attains 7 mm.
(Original description) The shell is subdiscoid, with a slightly elevated spire. Its whorls are rounded and very elegantly cancellated with transverse and longitudinal raised ridges; the transverse ridges are muricated. The outer lip is expanded, with a double peristome, each being radiately fimbriated. The umbilicus is very large, and its margins are crenulated. [2]
This marine species occurs off New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia.
