Mitromorpha carpenteri, common name the filose turrid, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mitromorphidae.[1]
Mitromorpha shells are of small size with a maximum length of ca.10 mm. Generally, their sculpture consists of spiral cords. The adult mitromorpha develops two columellar folds in which the posterior is often stronger.
