Didianema pauli is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Skeneidae.[1]
The shell is very small, to about 1.7 millimetres (0.067 in), thick and white, with a depressed-globose form and rounded whorls. The early whorls are smooth, while later whorls show strong, evenly spaced rounded ribs. The umbilicus is narrow and contracts internally. The aperture is slightly oblique and circular, with a continuous peristome and a thickened outer lip.[2]
