Xenuroturris emmae

Xenuroturris emmae is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turridae, the turrids.

Taxonomy

Due to a very different appearance from other members of the Xenuroturris (orange-brown-cultured shell with irregular positions of lighter spots), Kantor et al. 2024 state that attribution of the species to Xenuroturris is "only conditional[...]" until more data is acquired.

Distribution

This marine species occurs off Somalia.
