Mitromorpha gracilior is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mitromorphidae. ^[1]

Description

The length of the shell varies between 4 mm and 5 mm.

The decussation not so deep as in Mitromorpha aspera , so that the surface is smoother, the tuberculation smaller. Sometimes the clathration of the body whorl is only seen on the upper portion, the longitudinal costulae becoming obsolete below. ^[2]
