Arene lurida is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Areneidae.

The body whorl contains four strong, beaded, spiral cords with subequal interspaces, peripherally.

On the base there are two less prominent cords and two wider nodulous ridges around the deep, rather narrow umbilicus.

The axial sculpture consists of numerous fine radial threads, most obvious in the channels between the cords.

(described as Liotia lurida)[3] This marine species occurs in the Gulf of California.
