About Euplica scripta (Lamarck, 1822)
This species, scientifically named Euplica scripta (Lamarck, 1822), has a shell that ranges in size from 9 mm to 22 mm. The shell is oblong and subfusiform in shape. Its spire is turreted, conical, and pointed, and is made up of seven or eight folded whorls that are often tuberculated. The upper edge of each whorl is only very slightly compressed, which makes the sutures barely visible. The body whorl, which lacks folds and tubercles, is the same size as all the other whorls combined, and is striated at its base. The ground color of the shell is whitish, marked with brown undulating or zigzag lines that vary in number and run from the top of the whorls down to their base. Sometimes, additional markings on the upper whorls form delicate rhomb shapes. The aperture is rather narrow, narrowed at its lower end, and is the same length as all the other whorls combined. The columella is smooth, straight, and completely white, matching the rest of the aperture's interior. The outer lip has indistinct crenulations. This species is found throughout the entire Indo-Pacific region, and also occurs off the coasts of Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and Australia.
