Turritella cingulifera

Turritella cingulifera is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turritellidae.

[clarification needed] This marine species is found in the sublittoral zone of Australian waters, the Indo-Pacific Region and the East China Sea.

The slender conical shell is whitish to yellowish brown with a chestnut band next to the suture.

The shell sometimes has undulating, transverse chestnut lines or a central chestnut band made up of two or three close parallel lines on the body whorl.

They are contracted between the deep suture and then rounded with a number of thin, elevated, spiral striae.
