Cymbium coenyei

Cymbium coenyei, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Volutidae.

The taxonomic designation Cymbium coenyei honors André Coenye, a Belgian navigating officer who served in Angolan waters from 1960 to 1973 before retiring.

Coenye's significant contributions to the study of West African molluscan fauna include providing meticulously documented shells, thus enhancing our understanding of species distribution.

[1] The shell of Cymbium coenyei is described as heavy and solid, with a slender outline and a straight outer lip.

The body whorl exhibits a broad, weakly curved sutural ramp and a posterior shoulder ridge that is carinated and somewhat reflected outwards.
