Eulimella vanderlandi is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.[2][3]
The epithet "vanderlandi" refers to Dr J. van der Land at the Nationaal Natuurhistorisch Museum, Leiden, The Netherlands.[1]
The size of the shell varies between 2 mm and 2.7 mm. The slender, whitish shell has a conical shape with a vague spiral microsculpture. The teleoconch consists of five to six flat whorls. The suture between them is moderately incised. The outer lip is straight, lacking teeth. There is no umbilicus.[1]
