Paramontana modesta is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae.

[1] This species has also been considered a synonym of Pseudodaphnella pullula Hervier, R.P.J., 1897[2] The original description written by George French Angas is as follows: "The fusiformly turreted, shell is solid and fulvous brown.

The 5½ whorls are convex, stoutly and distantly longitudinally ribbed, and crossed with prominent erect ridges becoming sharply nodulous at the intersection.

"[3] As is frequently the case in this genus, this species has a light and a dark colour dimorphism.

A brown specimen in the British Museum presented by Angas is marked there as the type.
