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

Description

The length of the shell varies between 4 mm and 6.4 mm.

The orange-banded shell is ovately oblong. The whorls have a narrow shoulder. They are longitudinally strongly ribbed with white, obtuse ribs close-set.

This species was described and figured by Reeve a few months later, under the name of Mangilia luteofasciata, and without locality.[2]

Distribution

This species occurs in the Caribbean Sea and the Lesser Antilles.
