Pleurotomella compacta

Asperdaphne compacta Hedley, 1922 (original combination) Pleurotomella compacta is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae.

(Original description) The small shell is rather solid and has an ovate-conic shape.

The radial ribs are prominent, rounded, extending from the fasciolae to the base, set their own breadth apart, about twelve to a whorl.

On the body whorl they amount to twenty-four, of which three or four on the periphery are larger than the rest.
