Amalda reevei is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Ancillariidae.[1]
The length of the shell attains 22 mm, its diameter 10 mm.
(Original description in Latin) The smooth shell is elongate-ovate. It is pale flesh-colored, lighter below the suture. The spire is more or less covered with a pale callus. The shell contains about 5 whorls, with the body whorl large, elongated, and slightly convex, with two oblique grooves in front, and a brown-spotted band between the grooves. The outer lip is pale and slightly curved. The columella is thickened at the front, somewhat reflexed, obliquely grooved, and either white or pale pink. [2]
