Monilea simulans is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Trochidae, the top snails. [1]
This species differs from the type species ( Monilea callifera) in having only faint indications of the nodose plications at the upper angle of the whorls. It also differs in color, being paler and less rosy. [2]
This marine species occurs off the Maldives, the Laccadives in the South China Sea and off Japan.
