Pilsbryspira Aterrima
''Pilsbryspira aterrima'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudomelatomidae. Description The length of the shell varies between 8 mm and 20 mm. The shell has a very dark chocolate color, with sometimes a narrow white line above the periphery, but this is usually absent. The spire is lengthened or short. The whorl A whorl ( or ) is an individual circle, oval, volution or equivalent in a whorled pattern, which consists of a spiral or multiple concentric objects (including circles, ovals and arcs). Whorls in nature File:Photograph and axial plane flo ...s are rudely prominently keeled on the periphery, which is nodulous. Below the keel are a few raised revolving lines, occasionally broken up into granules. The great variation in the proportions of this shell has caused a number of synonyms to be made.

Compared with ''Drillia albomaculata'', (d'Orbigny, 1842) (now synonym of '' Pilsbryspira nodata'' (C. B.

In the typical ''Drillia albomaculata'' the coloring is similar, but a single broader rib revolves at the periphery. In some specimens, however, there is a mo ...
