Strictispira is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and allies.^[1]

Taxonomy[]

Previously this genus was included in the family Turridae, subfamily Strictispirinae. Taylor et. al. (1993) elevated this subfamily to the rank of family Strictispiridae.^[2] M.G. Faber (2007) stated that these species were conchological identical to Crassispira, but differ by a different radula type and buccal mass. But then he opinioned that this did not reflect a deep, subfamily-level phylogeny.^[3]
