Steromphala cineraria

Steromphala cineraria is a species of small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Trochidae, the top snails.

It is cinereous, densely marked with numerous narrow longitudinal brown or reddish lines, or broader stripes.

The 6 whorls are flattened, with 7 or 8 thread-like spiral ridges on the upper surface of the body whorl, with often one or two finer striae between each ridge, and about a dozen fine ridge-like striae on the under side.

The body whorl is angulate at the periphery, somewhat convex beneath.

[2] This species occurs in the North Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and in the Atlantic Ocean (Azores, Canary Islands, Morocco).
