Abyssochrysos melvilli

Abyssochrysos melvilli, common name Melvill's abyssal shell, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Abyssochrysidae.

They are slightly contracted above and below, nearly straight towards the middle, with two spiral rows of pointed nodules, connected by slight spirals and oblique radiating ribs.

The rest of the surface is smooth and shining, with a slight nacreous lustre and with numerous fine growth striae.

The outer margin is thin, angulate at the end of the lower row of nodules.

[2] This species occurs in the Southwest Pacific Ocean and off Southeast Africa.
