Awateria optabilis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Borsoniidae.

The suture is bimarginate, above by a minute threadlet, below by a broad and heavy cord which is obliquely irregularly plicated.

The aperture is pyriform, angled above, with a concave inner wall, ending in a short broad canal, which turns slightly to the left.

The outer lip is curved and imperfect The lines of growth would indicate that the sinus is situate in the excavation below the sutural cord, that it is small and moderately deep.

The inner lip spread as a thin layer narrowly over the body, broader over the columella, which is first straight and then slightly twisted to the left, ending in a sharp point.
