Turbonilla aquilonaria is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.[2][3]
They are a very rare species and not much information is known about them. They are short and live fully underwater and breathe through gills.[3]
Description
The shell grows to a length of 4.7 mm. They are a very rare species and not much information is known about them. They are short and live fully underwater and breathe through gills.[2] Since they are a very rare species, research under them is currently ongoing. Some turbonilla aquilonaria have been found that have longer shells and structure and scientists are researching whether some could breathe on other organs other than gills. However, nothing is clear as research or information about the research is very scarce.[4]

Distribution
This marine species was found in the intertidal zone, near Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Pernambuco State, Brazil. Only a few numbered Turbonilla aquilonaria have been found. They have been stored in labs and extensive research is going on. Currently, the scientists are gathering funds to help complete the research. It has been distributed in Pernambuco State in few markets. But, no further or very little distribution may have been done after COVID-19.[5]
