Bolma guttata, common name the sandpaper bolma, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turbinidae, the turban snails.[1][2][3]
Description
[edit]The size of the shell varies between 35 mm and 45 mm. The turbinate-conic shell has an umbilicus covered by callus. The spire is elevated. Its color pattern is flesh-colored, gold-tinted, and punctate with reddish. The deep sutures are canaliculate. The convex whorls are cingulate with rows of bead-like separated granules. The interstices are longitudinally obliquely striate. At the suture they are ornamented with a series of squamiform tubercles. The circular aperture is sulcate within, a thin wide callus covering the umbilicus.[4]
Distribution
[edit]This marine species occurs off Japan, the Philippines and Queensland, Australia.
