Hastula is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Terebridae, the auger snails. [1]
Species in this genus can be found in the Indo-Pacific Region, Australia and Tasmania.
These are sand-dwelling snails that burrow into the sand no deeper than their length. These are carnivorous snails, feeding on polychaete worms.
The shell is smooth and glossy. It is very high and turreted with impressed sutures. The shell shows axial sculpturing of crenulations below the slender ribs. There is often no spiral sculpture; some species show very weak spiral lines. [2]
