Turbonilla lopezyartoi is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies. This species was described by Peñas & Rolán in 2010 from fossils found off the Solomon Islands.[2]

The length of the shell measures 4.5 mm. The shell is slender and has a long, fusiform spire with about 4 whorls. The whorls are slightly convex and ornamented with fine longitudinal ribs that cross over the spiral cords, forming a reticulate pattern. The body whorl is smooth and shiny, with a thickened outer lip. The aperture is oval and has a simple columella.[3]
