Minolia climacota Melvill, 1897 Pseudominolia climacota is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Trochidae, the top snails.

[1][2] The epithet "climacota" is derived from the Greek word for "terraced".

The lirae are conspicuously sulculose with triangular blotches of black-brown painting.

Below the periphery it is ornated with brown to ashy gray flames.

The aperture is angulated round with a simple lip.
