Liotia fenestrata


Liotia fenestrata is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Liotiidae.

Description

The small, brownish white shell is clathrate by equidistant spiral and radiating riblets, with deep interstices. Its shape is at first subdiscoidal, but later variable. The apex is depressed. The nuclear whorls are flat and smooth. The teleoconch contains convex whorls. It is clathrate
by about 15 equidistant radiating and 7 spiral ribs, with deep pitted interspaces. The sculpture terminates with a spiral ridge surrounding the rather wide, deep umbilicus. The circular aperture is frequently slightly sloping and is slightly attached to the parietal wall. The inner lip is sinuated in the umbilical region.

Distribution

This marine species occurs in the Pacific Ocean off California.
