Description

Clavus squamiferus is a species of marine gastropod mollusk in the family Drilliidae. Described by Hervier in 1897, [3] this sea snail is notable for its robust, elongated shell adorned with distinct scales or squamose ridges, which give the species its name ("squamiferus" means "bearing scales"). The shell often displays a combination of fine spiral grooves and pronounced axial ribs, contributing to its textured appearance. Clavus squamiferus is typically found in the Indo-Pacific region, particularly in deep waters. Like other members of the genus Clavus, it is a predatory species, feeding on other smaller marine invertebrates.

Distribution

This marine species occurs off New Caledonia.
