Pustinella hyalina is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Marginellidae, the margin snails. [1]
The specific name "hyalina" roots from the word "hyaline", which means "made of glass; transparent". the specific name is likely referring to the shell's glassy texture.
The shell size varies between 4.5mm and 8mm. This sea snail was discovered during the German South Polar Expedition. [2]
This species is found in the cold waters along the South Shetlands, Weddell Sea and South America. It is found in the demersal range of 229-673 m of depth and the holotype is found in the polar coordinates of 63°S - 76°S, 180°E - 8°E. [3]
