Jujubinus polychroma is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Trochidae, the top snails.^[1]

Description

The shell is turreted-conic, perforate, and green, adorned with undulating white bands interspersed with angular buff-colored lines. The whorls are flat and slightly overlapping (subimbricating), featuring a slightly prominent, articulated margin. They are further ornamented with subdistant, impressed transverse lines and fine longitudinal striations.

The body whorl is angulate, with a slightly convex base sculptured by articulated cinguli in buff tones. The aperture is subquadrate and green on the inside. The columella is straight and slightly truncated at the base.^[2]

Distribution

This marine species occurs in the Indo-west Pacific, from the Persian Gulf to the Philippines; off Australia (Northern Territory, Queensland, Western Australia)
