Pyramidella tarpeia

Syrnola tarpeia Bartsch, 1915 Pyramidella tarpeia is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.

The whorls of the protoconch are small, very obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above which the rounded, tilted edge of the last volution only projects.

The six whorls of the teleoconch are high between the sutures, slightly rounded, and feebly shouldered at the summit.

The inner lip is very short, decidedly curved, and slightly reflected and appressed.

[1] The type specimen of this marine species was found off Port Alfred, South Africa.
