Leucorhynchia caledonica is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Skeneidae. [1]
The diameter of the shell is 3 mm. The polished, shining, whitish shell has a subdiscoidal shape and is slightly convex above and below. The spire contains 3 flattened whorls that are rapidly increasing. The periphery is carinate. The simple peristome is continuous and is thickened at the base and produced into a tongue-like callus past the umbilicus, leaving a perforation between it and the columellar wall. [2]
