Vetulonia paucivaricosa is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the superfamily Seguenzioidea.

(Described as Trochus cancellatus) The rather thin shell forms a depressed cone, opaque, and lustreless.

The sculpture consists of oblique laminar ribs in the line of growth, which are crossed by as many but slighter spiral striae.

The umbilicus is rather narrow, with a deep perforation which exposes the inner whorls.

[2] This species occurs in the Atlantic Ocean in the bathyal zone of the Azores and off Portugal, found at depths between 250 m and 805 m.
