Anachis lurida is a species of sea snail in the family Columbellidae, the dove snails.{{WRMS species|1701459|Anachis lurida (Hedley, 1907)|24 June 2025}}
Description
The length of the shell attains 3.4 mm, its diameter 1.5 mm.
(Original description) The shell is small, oval, thin, semitransparent, and glossy. It features five slightly shouldered whorls. The color is uniform, a clear cinnamon-brown, adorned with a pale, narrow, peripheral zone.
Sculpture: the anterior extremity is wound with ten small spiral cords. The remainder at first appears smooth, but under high magnification, it is found to have minute spiral striae that are reticulated by delicate growth-lines. The aperture is oblong, and the outer lip is thickened externally and possesses three tubercles internally. The columella is smooth and straight.{{cite journal |last1=Hedley |first1=C. |title=The Mollusca of Mast Head Reef, Capricorn Group, Queensland |journal=Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales |date=1907 |volume=32 |page=510 |url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/6383575 |access-date=24 June 2025}} {{source-attribution}}
