Turridrupa bijubata, common name the crested turrid, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Clavatulidae.[1][2]

Description[]

The size of an adult shell varies between 11 mm and 25 mm. The color of the shell is chocolate-brown, encircled by narrow, lighter-colored keels The second keel, which is somewhat stronger than the others, is often broken up into small tubercles. The interior of the aperture is chocolate-colored. The siphonal canal is short. It is distinguished from Turridrupa cincta (Lamarck, 1822) by its narrower form, a longer spire, sharper ridges and a darker color.[3]

Distribution[]

This marine species has a wide distribution : off Mozambique, Madagascar to Japan, the Fiji Islands and Australia. (Queensland)
