Zafrona striatula is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Columbellidae, the dove snails.[1]
The length of the shell attains 6 mm.
(Described as Columbella filamentosa) The shell is slightly but closely longitudinally ribbed, with revolving striae at the base. The outer lip is varicosely thickened, smooth within, sinuate behind, terminating in a short but distinctly constricted siphonal canal. The shell is yellowish brown, with numerous equidistant narrow revolving chestnut lines.[2]
