Cernohorskyola scita is a species of small sea snail, marine gastropod mollusk in the family Costellariidae, the ribbed miters.[1]
The length of the shell attains 8 mm; its diameter 3.5 mm.
(Original description) The shell is small, ovate, and glossy, and it is entirely of a deep, pure brown color. The spire is obtusely rounded, with a mamillated apex. It consists of six smooth and swollen whorls, separated by a finely impressed suture. The aperture is rather wide and brown within, and it is lirate internally. The columella bears three folds.[2]
