Pseudorhaphitoma is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Mangeliidae.Bouchet, P. (2011). Pseudorhaphitoma Boettger, 1895. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=432540 on 2012-07-06
Description This genus was originally described by Boettger as a section in the genus Clathurella.
The small, thick, monochrome brown or white, elongate shells are claviform. They contain 6 - 7 whorls. The prominent and continuous axial ribs are moderately strong. They are crossed regularly by numerous, fine spiral lirae, producing granular or transverse plicules. The aperture measures about a third of the total length. The weakly notched siphonal canal is narrow and shallow. The sharp outer lip is denticulate on the inside and usually shows a particularly strong tooth close to the well-cut anal sinus. The columella occasionally carries 1-2 denticles.Boettger, O. 1895. Die marinen Mollusken der Philippinen. IV. Die Pleurotomiden.
