Ptycheulimella is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.[2]
The shell has an elongate-conic shape. The axial sculpture consists of obsolete ribs, frequently only shown in the early turns of the teleoconch. Spiral sculpture, if present, consists of microscopic striations only.[3]
