Melanella translucens is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Eulimidae.
Description The length of the shell attains 4.5 mm.
(Original description in Italian) The shell is a beautiful, straight, and slender form, as transparent as glass so that its internal structure can be seen through it ; it is taller, but narrower in proportion than Melanella lubrica.
Distribution This species occurs in the North Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. It is rare in muddy bottoms and is sometimes washed ashore on the beach
