Raphitoma pupoides is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae.[1]

Description

The length of the shell varies between 6 mm and 17 mm.

(Original description) It stands out at a glance for its pupoid shape and for its very short siphonal canal, a strongly denticled aperture, oblique and obsolete cross-linking, rapid subtraction, tumid evolutions. The conical apex is composed of many rounded corners, the last of which at angled periphery. [2]

Distribution

This species occurs in the Central Mediterranean Sea and the Canary Islands.
