Conopleura striata is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Drilliidae.[2][3]
Description
The size of an adult shell varies between 13 mm and 159mm. The spire is turreted. The shoulder of each whorl is somewhat tabulate, with numerous septa crossing to the sutures. The shoulder angle is somewhat coronate. The surface of the shell is finely spirally striate. The anal sinus is broad and deep. The color of the shell is whitish or yellowish. Reeve has given a drawing of a reversed shell, a rarity in this genus.[4]
Distribution
This species occurs in the Pacific Ocean off Indonesia and New Guinea to Japan.
