Description

The length of the shell varies between 7 mm and 17 mm. The aperture of S. bermudensis is elongated and narrow, leading to a siphonal canal at the base, which is a common feature among members of its family. The overall morphology of this species reflects adaptations suited to its marine environment. Its delicate and intricate shell structure makes S. bermudensis an interesting subject for study within marine biology and malacology.

Distribution

Syntomodrillia bermudensis is primarily found in the marine waters surrounding Bermuda. This species thrives in specific habitats that provide the necessary environmental conditions for its survival and reproduction. The distribution of S. bermudensis is closely linked to the availability of suitable substrates for feeding and shelter, often associated with sandy or rocky seafloors.
