Notocytharella striosa is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.[1]
The length of the shell varies between 6 mm and 8 mm.
The slender shell is dingy white, with a rather indistinct narrow central brown band on the body whorl. It contains 10-12 slender longitudinal ribs, crossed by close elevated revolving lines. The outer lip is rather sharp on the edge but thickened behind it by a stout rib.[2]
