Pyramidella (Orinella) africana Bartsch, 1915 (basionym) Orinella africana is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.

They are planorboid, having their axis at right angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which they are very slightly immersed.

The eight whorls of the teleoconch are almost flat, and are feebly shouldered at the summit.

The inner lip is almost vertical, strongly reflected, and provided with a fold a little anterior to its insertion.

[2] This marine species occurs off Port Alfred, South Africa.
