Dactylastele burnupi is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Calliostomatidae.

The general color of the shell is a fleshy tint, varied at intervals with brown blotches which are often pale bordered on the left or anterior side.

The colour may be variable but in the original greyish white example examined, the brown stripes are divided down the middle by a whitish line.

The seven whorls are not quite flat as the rounded keel, which passes above the suture, causes a faint swelling at the lower part.

[3] This marine species occurs in the Indian Ocean off Mozambique and off Durban, KwaZuluNatal, South Africa.
