Raphitoma philberti

Raphitoma philberti is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae.

They contain longitudinally rather tuberculated ribs that are decussated by coarse, elevated, transverse striae.

The outer lip is thickened within, somewhat contracting the aperture, and strongly dentated with seven or eight elevated teeth.

[2] Coloration uniformly tawny-reddish, from light to dark, with whitish blotches as wide as two axials usually vanishing towards the suture.

This species occurs in the Northern Atlantic Ocean and in the Mediterranean Sea.
