Tenaturris Fulgens
''Tenaturris fulgens'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae. Description The length of the shell attains 7 mm, its diameter 2 mm. The ovate shell has a shining aspect. It is white. The pale dot on the last rib is so small and indistinct that it might easily be overlooked. The protoconch consists of two smooth, convex whorls. These are followed by slightly convex whorls showing 11-12 longitudinal ribs that continue in the body whorl almost to the base of the shell. The uppermost of the three or four chief spiral lirations is situated a little above the middle of the whorls, and it is at this point that they appear to be slightly angulated. These spiral liration number 16–18 in the body whorl. The ovate aperture is narrow and measures about half the total length. The outer lip is incrassate and is arched forward at its top. The inner lip is simple. The columella is slightly callous. The siphonal canal is short and narrow. D ...

The transverse sculpture consists of extremely fine close parallel hardly raised incremental lines, visible only with the glass, and traversing the spiral interspaces with great regularity and perfect uniformity. It also shows on the antepenultimate whorl about twenty narrow, little raised, long rounded riblets, starting from the suture and fading ...

Tenaturris Epomis
''Tenaturris epomis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.Rosenberg, G. (2010). Tenaturris epomis. In: MolluscaBase (2017). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=533481 on 2018-01-28 Description The length of the shell attains 6.3 mm, its diameter 2 mm. (Original description) The minute, slender shell is white. The small, smooth protoconch consists of about one whorl, and three subsequent whorls. The suture is distinct, not appressed. The fasciole in front of it flattish, the anterior margin of the fasciole forming a more or less angular shoulder to the whorl.

Tenaturris Janira
''Tenaturris janira'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae. Description The length of the shell attains 11 mm, its diameter 4.5 mm.

The spiral sculpture consists of (on the spire two, on the body whorl three) rather prominent nodules on the ribs with no conspicuous cord in the corresponding part of the interspaces. Otherwise the spiral sculpture, especially on the latter whorls, comprises sharp narrow grooves with wider flattened interspaces which become more cordlike on the earlier whorls and the base. The whorls ...
