Pristiterebra is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Terebridae, the auger snails.[1]
The name Pristiterebra is not available (no description, no type species designation) from Taki & Oyama, 1954 (Palaeontological Society of Japan, Special Papers 2: 28). It was given precedence over the simultaneously published Laeviacus by First Reviser's choice by Terryn & Holford, 2009, Visaya, suppl. 3; 46.
