Veprecula arethusa
Veprecula arethusa is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae.
From the article Veprecula arethusa on Wikipedia (CC BY-SA), quoted section by section
Description
The length of the shell varies between 5 mm and 11.5 mm. At the base of the body whorl, around the cauda, a faint brown band is traceable. The smooth furrow at the top of the ten whorls, their reticulated surface, and the rather produced but narrow siphonal canal are characters at once indicating this species. Few descriptions and images of the shell exist and no recorded descriptions of a living V. arethusa have been found.
