Asperdaphne subrissoides is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae.
Description
The length of the shell varies between 7 mm and 15 mm.
(Original description in Latin) The shell has a reddish apex and is painted alternately with tawny and white coloration along the sutures. It is cloudily streaked with a hawk-tawny hue, and features irregular varices. While its sculptural details perfectly match the archetype described by the original author, its color—though not its sculpture—bears some resemblance to the described variety.
Distribution
This marine species occurs off the Philippines, Hawaii, Papua New Guinea and New Caledonia.
