Ithycythara auberiana is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.[1]
Tucker considers this species a synonym of Ithycythara pentagonalis Reeve, L.A., 1845[2]
Icythara rubricata (Reeve, 1846) may be an older name for this species; see Williams (2005).[3][4]
The length of the shell varies between 4 mm and 8 mm.
