Awheaturris pahaoensis is an extinct species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae.[1]

It was described by Vella in 1954 from fossil remains excavated in New Zealand. The fossil specimen measures 8.3 mm in length and 4.1 mm in diameter. It has a spindle-shaped shell with a long spire and a short body whorl. The shell is ornamented with longitudinal ribs that intersect with spiral cords, creating a reticulated pattern. The body whorl is smooth and glossy. The aperture is oval and has a thickened outer lip.[2] Шаблон:Expand section
