Xenuroturris emmae is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turridae, the turrids.[1]
Taxonomy
Due to a very different appearance from other members of the Xenuroturris (orange-brown-cultured shell with irregular positions of lighter spots), Kantor et al. 2024 state that attribution of the species to Xenuroturris is "only conditional[...]" until more data is acquired.[2]
Distribution
This marine species occurs off Somalia.
