Skenea rugulosa is a species of small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Skeneidae.[1]
The size of the shell varies between 0.75 mm and 1.5 mm. The shell is narrowly umbilicated. It is pellucid, yellowish white. The short, obtuse spire is smooth, microscopically rugulose and spirally striate. It contains three convex whorls with the body whorl large. The suture is well-impressed.[2]
