Hindsiclava polytorta is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudomelatomidae.

(Original description) The large, slender, solid, shell contains about thirteen whorls.

The succeeding whorls are transversely sculptured by twelve or thirteen rounded, shouldered ribs.

This on the last half-whorl widens out considerably if the specimen in hand be typical, though in this case it may be an individual characteristic.

Before the notch-band, and even encroaching a little on it, and extending over the surface of the whorls, are six or seven (on the body whorl seventeen) slightly raised rounded revolving lines, with slightly wider shallow interspaces, which are about equally prominent over the transverse ribs and between them.
