Eugemmula amabilis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turridae, the turrids.
Description The length of the shell attains 40 mm.
(Original description in German) The pale yellowish-brown, fusiform shell is rather solid. It is spirally girdled with sutures sculpted with incremental striae. The first cingulum (the spiral ornamentation) is distinctly nodose. The carina (the keel-like structure) is produced, covered with white nodules. The conical spire has an acute apex and shows eleven carinated whorls. The evanescent suture is oblique; the last one is convex. The siphonal canal is narrow and long. The aperture is pear-shaped. It is marginally and internally ribbed. The outer lip is produced below.Weinkauff H.C. (1875). Ueber eine kritische Gruppe des Genus Pleurotoma Lam. sensu stricto.
