Monilea (Rossiteria) nucleolus H. Pilsbry, 1903(original description) Rossiteria nucleolus is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Trochidae, the top snails.

Its color pattern is white with an interrupted buff zone above, and conspicuously variegated with squarish black-brown spots, of which there is a row of broad ones below the suture (three or four on a whorl), a row of smaller ones just above the periphery, and another one on the base.

The glossy surface is sculptured with numerous very low and subequal, nearly smooth spiral threads, almost obsolete on the base, but reappearing on the border of the umbilicus.

The surface shows, under a lens, subregular, close, longitudinal grooves, almost obsolete, but visible near the suture and umbilicus.

The outer lip is bevelled to a sharp edge, thickened and spirally lirate within.
