Asperdaphne subrissoides is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae.^[1]

Description

The length of the shell varies between 7 mm and 15 mm.

(Original description in Latin) The shell has a reddish apex and is painted alternately with tawny and white coloration along the sutures. It is cloudily streaked with a hawk-tawny hue, and features irregular varices. While its sculptural details perfectly match the archetype described by the original author, its color—though not its sculpture—bears some resemblance to the described variety. ^[2]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off the Philippines, Hawaii, Papua New Guinea and New Caledonia.
