Inquisitor intertinctus is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and allies. [1]
The length of the shell varies from 20 mm to 40 mm.
This species seems to be somewhat variable in sculpture and colour. The spiral lirae of the penultimate whorl vary in number from 3 to 5. In other specimens not only the infrasutural keel is adorned with red-brown dots, but also the principal lirae on many places. [2]
