Eulithidium comptum

Eulithidium comptum , the Californian banded pheasant shell, is a species of small sea snail with calcareous opercula, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Phasianellidae, the pheasant snails.

It is somewhat solid, yellowish, pinkish or whitish, more or less clouded longitudinally with purple, dull pink or gray.

It is marked with numerous narrow close revolving descending lines of purple, pink or drab, sometimes conspicuously flammulated below the sutures, and broadly transversely fasciate on its base.

The narrow umbilical region is excavated and generally minutely perforate.

The radula is similar to that of Tricolia pullus (Linnaeus, 1758) but has only 4 lateral teeth on either side, by atrophy of the narrow outer one.
