Ancistrosyrinx elegans Dall, 1881 Cochlespira elegans, common name the elegant star turrid, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cochlespiridae.

The anterior surface of the whorls are everywhere sculptured with even uniform spiral rows of rounded nodules, beautifully reticulated by the lines of growth.

The posterior surface of the whorls, except for lines of growth, is smooth, with one row of nodules just inside the carina.

[4] This species occurs in the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and the Greater Antilles.

The light brown shell illustrated here was recovered via Johnson Sea-Link II submersible operating at 300–400 metres depth, off West coast Barbados, Lesser Antilles.
