Megasurcula carpenteriana (Gabb, 1865), also known as Carpenter's turrid,[3] is a species of medium-sized predatory sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Pseudomelatomidae, a family previously lumped with others collectively known as turrids.[4] This species occurs in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. The species was named in honor of Philip Pearsall Carpenter.[5][2]
