Neoguraleus huttoni is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.[1]
The shell reaches a maximum height of about 9 mm and a diameter of approximately 3.7 mm.[2]
The shell is elongate-fusiform (spindle-shaped).[3] The adult whorls are sculptured, typically showing pronounced axial ribs crossed by spiral cords, giving the surface a textured, net-like appearance.[3]
The spire is relatively tall, while the siphonal canal is cut in proportion, giving the shell a somewhat shortened appearance at the base.[3]
