Columbella (Seminella) phaula Melvill & Standen, 1901 superseded combination Zafra phaula is a species of sea snail in the family Columbellidae, the dove snails.

It is doubtless nearly allied to Zafra melitoma and others of this group.

It is much the smallest of the Karachi species, and the ribs are thicker in proportion to the size of the shell.

There is no trace of spiral liration, nor has the outer lip any denticles on the inner surface.

[2] This marine species occurs off Karachi at the Pakistan coast.
