Akritogyra conspicua is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk, unassigned in the superfamily Seguenzioidea.[2]
The size of the shell varies between 1.3 mm and 2 mm; average diameter 1.4 mm.
(Original description in Italian by Monterosato) This species is similar in shape and size to Cyclostrema basistriatum Jeffreys, 1877 (synonym of Skenea basistriata (Jeffreys, 1877) ) which is Norwegian, but the shell is completely smooth instead of striated and with deeper suture. [1]
