Teleochilus royanus is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae.
The apical whorls are minutely punctate and the succeeding whorls are obsoletely longitudinally ribbed and transversely scratched, a couple of transverse ridges being more prominent below the suture, which is slightly canaliculate.
This is the most interesting species found by Roy Bell, and, until the animal is examined, its classification must remain obscure.
As noted above, the only specimens I have seen were dead, but this may be the same thing as recorded by Gatliff and Gabriel from Bass Straits as Baphnohela sp., in which case live specimens may soon turn up.
