As Syrnola vietnamica
Diagnostic features are 1) turreted, straight-sided shell that may exceed 10 mm in height, 2) protoconch large, globose, of 2.5 smooth whorls, slightly oblique, only scarcely concealed by the first teleoconch whorl, 3) spire whorls shaped like a cone segment, meeting at shallowly grooved sutures, 4) body whorl about 35% of total height, with subrounded periphery, quickly contracted at the base, which is moderately convex, 5) aperture short, subquadrangular; inner side of outer lip with 4 deeply set lirae, the second from the suture strongest; columellar fold strong, markedly oblique, 6) outer surface with uneven growth markings and dense spiral microstriation throughout. Syrnola vietnamica is closely related to Syrnola tenuisculpta (Lischke, 1872) and may prove to be a synonym of it.
DISTRIBUTION AND HABITAT. The species was based on beached material from Vietnam. There is no information about its ecological requirements.
