Sorgenfreispira brachystoma is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.[1]

The subspecies Sorgenfreispira brachystoma africana Ardovini, 2004 has become a synonym of Sorgenfreispira africana Ardovini, 2004

Description

The shell size varies between 4 mm and 7 mm.

The turreted shell is slightly, narrowly shouldered, with 7-9 narrow ribs extending from the shoulder to the base, and wider interspaces. The whole surface covered with revolving striae. Their interaction with the growth lines produce prominent, scale-like tubercles. The prominent subsutural band is narrow with a beaded ridge below the suture. The aperture is elongate-oval with an anal sinus and a short, wide siphonal canal.

The color of the shell is yellowish white, orange or occasionally deep reddish brown. Paler specimens are sometimes indistinctly brown-banded below the periphery.[2][3]

Distribution

This species occurs on sand and sandy muddy bottom at depths between 4 m to 60 m in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean off Norway , in the North Sea off the British Isles, in the Atlantic Ocean off Ireland, Spain , Portugal and West Africa, and in the Mediterranean Sea and the Adriatic Sea.

Fossils have been found in various Pliocene-Pleistocene strata in England, France, Spain and Italy.[4]
