Rochia virgata, common name the striped top shell, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Tegulidae.

The sculpture of the spire consists of spiral prominently beaded lirae, about eight on each whorl.

The base of the shell is plano-concave, indented in the center, finely, densely lirate.

The columella is short, oblique, ending in a tubercle below, simply entering, not plicate, above.

[2] This species occurs in the Red Sea and in the Indian Ocean off Chagos, Madagascar, the Mascarene Basin and Mauritius.
