Dentarene munita is a species of small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk, in the family Liotiidae.[1]
This is a replacement name for Delphinula muricata Reeve, 1843, non Calcara, 1841
The size of the shell varies between 12 mm and 20 mm. The shell is rather narrowly umbilicated. It has a pale orange yellow color, radiated and spotted with a reddish chestnut. The three whorls contain scaly-prickly keels at the periphery and are slopingly flattened above. The suture is excavated. The surface above and below contain minutely beaded revolving striae.[2]
