Lissospira striata is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Skeneidae. [1]
The height of the shell attains 1.5 mm, its diameter 2 mm. The shell consists of about three convex whorls forming a comparatively low, somewhat depressed spire. The entire surface below the relatively large, little raised, smooth nuclear whorl, is covered with raised, rounded, well-separated, revolving microscopic threads, most distinct on the base. The small umbilicus is scarcely more than a chink. The aperture and the operculum are typical. [2]
This species occurs in the Atlantic Ocean off New England, United States, found off Martha's Vineyard.
