Clavus lamberti is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Drilliidae.[1]
The size of an adult shell varies between 8 mm and 20 mm. The shell is yellowish brown, with a central reddish chestnut band, filled with a double series of revolving white-tipped tubercles. Below this, on the body whorl, there is a second narrower band, bearing a single series of small white tubercles, a brown line and spots at the base.[2]
This species occurs in the demersal zone of the tropical Indo-Pacific off East Africa, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Australia (Northern Territory, Queensland, Western Australia), New Caledonia, and Polynesia.
