Comitas albicincta is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and allies.[1]

Description

G.W. Tryon was of the opinion that this was a more highly colored adult of Drillia putillus (synonym of Clavus putillus (Reeve, 1845)) with the peripheral row of tubercles whitish. He could not find other differences.[2]

The fusiform shell consists of ten whorls. These are transversally crossed by delicate striae. The fulvescent shell shows a white zone that passes over the nodules upon the angle in the center of each whorl. The sinus is small.[3]

Distribution

This marine species occurs in the East China Sea and in the South China Sea
