Latiromitra paiciorum is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Costellariidae.[2] It is named after the Kanak linguistic group, occupying the east coast of New Caledonia near Cape Bayes, and the speakers of the Paici language.[3]
The length of the shell attains 25.1 mm.[2] Color is light brown-beige, polished, and periostracum transparent. L. paiciorum resembles L. crytodon, but differs in having fewer axial ribs and stronger columellar plaits. It differs from other Indo-Pacific species by its small adult size.[3]
