Anachis rugosa is a species of sea snail in the family Columbellidae, the dove snails.[1]
(Original description in Latin) The shell is oblong and somewhat humped in the middle. It has a dusky epidermis, and the spire's apex is usually eroded. There are 7 whorls, which are longitudinally ribbed and rugose (wrinkled). The body whorl is spirally ribbed below and longitudinally ribbed above, with all ribs bearing a single tubercle on top. The aperture is somewhat open.[2]
