Clathurella hedleyi Melvill, 1904 Veprecula hedleyi is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae.

This species differs from its congeners in its greater ventricosity and roundness of the whorl.

The number of longitudinal ribs on the body whorl is sixteen in the specimen figured.

The holotype possesses a greater number of ribs than obtained in the more recently collected examples, but the author cannot further separate them specifically.

[2] This species occurs in the Gulf of Oman and Réunion.
