Crassispira cerithina

Crassispira cerithina is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudomelatomidae.

Kantor et al. showed in 2017 that this species actually forms a species complex and recognized two new species; Crassispira aurea and Crassispira procera

Description
The length of the shell varies between 15 mm and 24 mm.

The shell is dark chocolate, covered by rows of lighter colored granulations, caused by the decussation of small flexuous rather numerous longitudinal ribs and elevated revolving lines. The aperture is light chocolate.

Distribution
This marine species occurs in the Indo-West Pacific off Mauritius, the Philippines, Japan, the Fiji Islands and off Queensland, Australia.
