Kelletia lischkei is a species of large sea snail, or whelk, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Austrosiphonidae.^[1]

Description

Kelletia lischkei is a medium-to-large species of buccinid whelk.^[2]^[3]

Distribution

The species is endemic to the Sea of Japan, and is found in coastal waters off of South Korea^[4] and eastern Japan.^[2] Fossils of K. lischkei occur in the Middle Pleistocene fossil record of Japan,^[5] and the species bears a resemblance to the extinct fossil species Kelletia brevis.^[6]
