Eucithara stromboides is a small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.[1]
Kilburn (1992) listed this as a possible synonym of Eucithara fusiformis (Reeve, 1846) and designated a lectotype.[2]
The length of the shell attains 14 mm.
The interstices of the ribs show fine revolving striae. The color of the shell is yellowish white.[3]
