Terebra reticularis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Terebridae, the auger snails.[1] It is often referred to as Terebra pseudoturbonilla as well, although it is an unaccepted name.
Description
[edit]The width of the shell (Holotype) is ~1.5 mm with the length of 6mm.[2] It has been said to be similar in looks with the genus Turbonilla, distinct only due to the last spiral and is said to be the smallest of the genus Terebra.[2] The columella is light brown, and contains 6-9 spirals.
