Hindsiclava macilenta is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and allies.[1]
The length of the shell varies between 35 mm and 43 mm.
(Original description) In comparison with Hindsiclava alesidota, the shell is more slender, the sculpture more elegant, the spiral element proportionally stronger, existing on the fasciole and siphonal canal, as well as over the rest of the surface. This is a very plain, simple looking species of a dull color.[2]
