Turritella cingulifera

Turritella cingulifera is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turritellidae.

It is placed either in subgenus Kurosioia or Haustator.[clarification needed]

This marine species is found in the sublittoral zone of Australian waters, the Indo-Pacific Region and the East China Sea.

The slender conical shell is whitish to yellowish brown with a chestnut band next to the suture. The shell sometimes has undulating, transverse chestnut lines or a central chestnut band made up of two or three close parallel lines on the body whorl. The shell has about twelve whorls. They are contracted between the deep suture and then rounded with a number of thin, elevated, spiral striae. The length of the shell is 1,90 cm (.75-inch).
