Jujubinus browningleeae is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Trochidae, the top snails.[1][2]

Etymology

Description

Jujubinus browningleeae has a small and slightly turriculate shell. The sculpture consists of flat spiral cords demarcated by incised spiral lines. Prosocline lamallae is absent between cords.[2]

Distribution

It is found in the Portuguese exclusive economic zone.[1]
