Veprecula pungens is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae. [1]
The length of the shell attains 9 mm.
This species partakes of the general aspect of Veprecula arethusa but is distinguishable from it by its longer spire, narrower form, closer reticulation, and smooth apical whorls. [2]
This marine species was found off Hong Kong.
A seashell or sea shell, also known simply as a shell, is a hard, protective outer layer usually created by an animal or organism that lives in the sea. Most seashells are made by mollusks, such as snails, clams, and oysters to protect their soft insides. Empty seashells are often found washed up on beaches by beachcombers. The shells are empty because the animal has died and the soft parts have decomposed or been eaten by another animal.
A micromollusk is a shelled mollusk which is extremely small, even at full adult size. The word is usually, but not exclusively, applied to marine mollusks, although in addition, numerous species of land snails and freshwater mollusks also reach adult size at very small dimensions.
