Cymbiola innexa is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Volutidae, the volutes.[1]
Description
The length of the shell attains 95 mm.[2]
(Original description) The shell is oblong-ovate with a rather short spire that forms a large, nodulous papilla at the apex. The whorls are smooth, slanting around the upper portion and appearing slightly angled, with nodose tubercles situated along the angle. The columella is strongly four-plaited. In color, the shell is flesh-white and longitudinally knitted throughout with very fine, scarlet-brown lines, further marked by three narrow, darker bands.[3]
Distribution
This marine species is primarily found in the Indo-Pacific, with notable populations around Indonesia (Java and East Java).[4][5]
