Anatoma lamellata is a species of minute sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk or micromollusk in the family Anatomidae.[1][2]

Description

The globose-conoidal shell grows to a height of 3.5 mm. The conical spire has 3½ whorls that are a little convex. They are cancellated with radiating, subdistant lamellae, and show elevated transverse lines in the interstices. The lamellae are flexuous on the base. The aperture is subcircular. The inner lip is dilated, angular and broadly reflexed in the middle. It partly covers the umbilicus.[3][4]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off Japan.
