Veprecula

Veprecula is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Raphitomidae.

[1] (Original description) This genus has been created by Melvill in 1917 for a series of deep-water species of Clathurella with several peculiarities.

The small, thin, delicate shell has a pale brown or white, fusiform spire, either very attenuate, or pagodiform, or broader, and ventricose, always much suturally impressed.

The remainder are either few or closely ribbed, crossed by frequent or more distant lirations, acutely echinate at the points of junction, interstices appearing deeply seated, almost smooth, quadrate or oblong.

The sinus is deep and wide, situated immediately below the suture.
