Splendrillia Aoteana
''Splendrillia aoteana'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family (biology), family Drilliidae. This species has also been found a fossil in Pliocene Strata of New Zealand. This name was in 1930 introduced by Finlay as a nomen novum pro ''Pleurotoma laevis'' Hutton, 1873a, non ''Pleurotoma laevis'' Bellardi, 1847. Description The length of the shell attains 18 mm, its diameter 7 mm. (Original description) The solid shell has a claviform shape. It is axially costate, with a pinkish spiral band. The sculpture consists of oblique rounded and strong axial ribs, beginning at the angle of the shoulder, and extending to the suture below. On the body whorl they are obsolete on the base. Their number is about 14 on a whorl. The whole surface, and especially the interstices, are very distinctly striated by fine flexuous growth lines, crescent-shaped on the smooth depression of the shoulder. The microscopic spiral lines are sometimes visible on the sh ...
