Skenea proxima

Skenea proxima is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Skeneidae.

Tryon as a replacement name for Cyclostrema affine Verrill, 1884 (now recognized as a synonym of Skenea basistriata (Jeffreys, 1877)), while he thought it was closely related to Cyclostrema basistriata Brugnone.

Anders Warén thought it would probably prove a synonym of Skenea diaphana.

The shell is narrowly umbilicated, faintly striate, with a few indistinct spiral lines below the suture, and numerous well defined ones on the base.

[3] This species occurs in the Atlantic Ocean off New England and North Carolina, USA, at depths between 538 m and 1542 m.
