Skenea basistriata is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Skeneidae.[1]

The length of the shell varies between 1.2 mm and 4 mm. The smooth, shining shell is narrowly umbilicated. It contains 4½ tumid whorls with a deep suture. These whorls are rapidly increasing in size. The base of the shell shows an oblique, arcuate stripe running into the umbilicus.[2]
