Tricolia substriata is a species of small sea snail with calcareous opercula, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Phasianellidae, the pheasant snails.[1][2]

Description[]

The form of the shell is as in Phasianella variegata Lamarck, 1822 but the whorls, except the nuclear whorl, are very delicately striate, the body whorl with about ten striae.[3]
