Epidirella xanthophaes is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turridae, the turrids.

The corner of the shoulder has a strongish rounded keel cut into white blunt tubercles, between which are chestnut spots.

The outer lip is thin, with a sinus strong rather than deep, V-shaped, extending from the suture, and having its apex at the keel.

The inner lip is thin, concave above, then direct, and then at the siphonal canal strongly cut off to the left, and having a slight twist on its edge.

Life cycle: Embryos develop into planktonic trochophore larvae and later into juvenile veligers before becoming fully grown adults.
