Broderipia cumingii is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Trochidae, the top snails. [1]
The broadly umbilicated shell has an elevated-conical shape. It is cinereus, painted with brown undulating lines. The whorls are ornamented with transverse riblets, the last with 3 median lirae, longitudinally elevated striate. The large umbilicus is encircled by a crenulated cingulus, and within elegantly decussated by radiating and transverse lines. [2] It is distinguished from Broderipia iridescens by its prominent angulated columellar margiu and granulato-corrugose surface. [3]
This marine species occurs off the Philippines.
