Ocenebra erinaceus, common name the European sting winkle, is a species of predatory sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Muricidae, the murex and rock snails. Also known as the oyster drill, it is a pest in oyster beds.

The size of the shell varies between 8 mm and 65 mm. The shell has four to seven varicose, nodulous, encircled by prominent cord-like, raised ribs. These are alternately smaller, the smaller ones minutely scabrous. The varices are sometimes frondose, sometimes lamellated, occasionally appressed. Occasionally the larger revolving ribs thickly overlap the varices, forming a succession of elongated nodules The color of the shell is yellowish-brown and whitish within.

Distribution

This marine species occurs in European waters from Norway to the Black Sea; in the Atlantic Ocean off the Azores and Madeira
