Odostomia acuta is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
The shell is rather solid, but semitransparent and lustrous, with microscopic close spiral striae, and still more minute, flexuous, crowded growth lines. The shell is whitish with a tinge of flesh-color. There are six whorls besides the embryonic ones. The periphery is obtusely keeled. The umbilicus is conspicuous but small. The tooth is strong and prominent. The outer lip is occasionally striate within. [6]
