Ethaliella rhodomphala is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Trochidae, the top snails.
Distribution
This marine species occurs off the Maldives, New Caledonia and New South Wales (Australia).
The New Caledonian occurrence may actually be Trochus (Monilea) rhodomphalus Souverbie, 1875. This species seems, as Fischer has suggested, close to Trochus rotelloeformis Philippi.
