Eucithara typhonota is a small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.[1]
The holotype in the British Museum of Natural History is a juvenile form. This raises questions about the validity of this species.[2]

The teleoconch shows a few rectilineal ribs, of which 12 in the body whorl. The aperture is narrow and oblong. The outer lip is simple (juvenile). The white columella is rather straight [3]
