Turridrupa maestratii is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Turridae, the turrids.
Etymology Turridrupa maestratii is named after Philippe Maestrati, in honor of his contributions to malacology.
Description Turridrupa maestratii is very similar to T. acutigemmata in appearance. The main difference is that T. maestratii has a "paucispiral protoconch (while T. acutigemmata has a multispiral protoconch), by the slightly slenderer shape, and by the undulating spiral cords (while the spiral cords other than the sinus cord are smooth in T. acutigemmata)."
Distribution Turridrupa maestratii has only been found the Grand Passage region of New Caledonia, in depths between 220 and 370 m.
