Hemilienardia lynx is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae.[1]
The Hemilienardia lynx shell is tiny, about 2.75 mm long and 1.35 mm wide, with an oval shape and a pointed tip. It has around 3.2 whorls, featuring strong ribs crossed by low spiral lines. The shell is mostly white with dark olive spots and a yellow line on the last whorl. Its opening is narrow with four small teeth, and the early shell development is conical, starting white and turning light brown with fine patterns.[2]
