Teretia cincta

† Homotoma cincta Seguenza, 1880 Teretia cincta is an extinct species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae.

[1] The length of the shell attains 10.6 mm, its diameter 5 mm.

(Original description in Italian) This species is very similar to Teretia anceps, but it must be distinguished by a less delicate shape, because the whorls are shorter and therefore relatively wider.

The cinguli are thinner and more protruding.

[2] Fossils of this marine species were found in Pliocene strata in Calabria, Italy
