Genus of gastropods
Tenaturris is a
genus of
sea snails ,
marine
gastropod
mollusks in the
family
Mangeliidae .
[1]
(Original description) The stout shell is medium-sized. The
protoconch is conical, consisting of two and a half
whorls , about the last one sculptured with axial riblets. (One species referred to this genus has a stout, cylindrical, smooth nucleus of two whorls.)
The
aperture is long and moderately narrow. The anterior canal is short, barely emarginate.
The outer
lip is varicose. The anal notch immediately adjoining the suture, is moderately deep, and broadly rounded. The interior of the outer lip bears a low broad denticle on the notch. The parietal callus is thin. The
sculpture consists of axial ribs, which may be varicose here and there on the
body whorl , and spiral threads, with microscopic frosted spirals in the interspaces.
