Comitas wynyardensis

Pritchard, 1896 Comitas wynyardensis is an extinct species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and allies.

The spire is acute, made up of a rather small embryonic portion, succeeded by numerous, gradually increasing, convex, and more or less strongly costated whorls.

The outer lip is rather thin and smooth internally, with a well-defined broad but comparatively shallow sinus just below the suture.

From the sinus the lip projects slightly forward with a regular convex arch, then curving downwards to join the anterior canal.

The surface is ornamented with oblique ribs, which are most highly elevated about the middle of each whorl, and fade off more rapidly towards the posterior suture than the anterior.
