Inquisitor alabaster is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and allies.[1]
The length of the shell varies between 30 mm and 40 mm.
The turreted shell is snowy white, sometimes faintly rose-tinged. It is longitudinally ribbed, with very fine revolving grooves and striae. It is somewhat depressed next the suture. The sinus is broad.[2]
This marine species occurs off the Philippines and in the China Seas.
