Raphitoma laviae is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Raphitomidae.^[1]

Description

The length of the shell varies between 5 mm and 15 mm. The protoconch is multispiral.

(Original description) The reddish-brown shell has an oblong-fusiform shape. The six whorls show about 20 pronounced axial ribs, crossed by transverse riblets (about 5 in the upper whorls) forming a latticed structure. The aperture is oblong and is somewhat smaller than half the length of the shell. The outer lip is incrassate and notched within. ^[2]

Distribution

This species occurs in the Western and Central Mediterranean Sea.
