Oenopota levidensis


Oenopota levidensis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae. It was first formally described and named Oenopota levidensis ''in 1864 by P.P. Carpenter.''

Description

The length of the shell attains 17 mm. Carpenter's types from Neeah Bay and Puget Sound were badly worn, imperfect specimens, hardly identifiable. The color of the fresh shell is dark brown, and the sculpture on the body whorl in older specimens is often more or less obsolete.

Distribution

This marine species occurs in the Salish Sea, Northwest America.
