Alaba imbricata is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Litiopidae. [1]
(Original description in Latin) The shell is elevated-conical and sub-turreted. It is semi-opaque white, sporadically tinged with red. It features 7 flat, overlapping whorls with distant, longitudinal folds, that form varices, and transverse furrows. The aperture is subcircular, with a thin, arched outer lip that is scarcely effuse and has a thickened margin. [2]
