Scissurella mirifica is a species of minute sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk or micromollusk in the family Scissurellidae, the little slit snails. [1] [2]
The size of the shell varies between 1.2 mm and 2.5 mm. The depressed shell has an oval shape. The flattened spire has a very wide and open umbilicus. The entire surface of the 2½ whorls is regularly and delicately finely clathrate. The aperture is very oblique. The outer lip recedes inwards. [3]
This marine species occurs off the Philippines, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Fiji and the Society Islands; off Queensland, Australia.
