Veprecula brunonia is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae.
Description The length of the shell attains 3 mm.
(Original description) The minute shell shows an absurdly accurate resemblance to the large species of Turricula. It has inflated whorls, a constricted suture and a relatively long siphonal canal. The holotype has a slender brown protoconch of four long axially ribbed whorls and three and a half subsequent inflated whorls. The shell shows seven axial ribs, and a deep anal sulcus close to the suture.W.H. Dall (1924), Notes on Molluscan Nomenclature; Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington. v. 37 (1924)
Distribution This marine species occurs off Hawaii and Réunion
