'''''Tomopleura''''' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Borsoniidae.<ref name="WoRMS">{{WRMS species|432573|''Tomopleura'' Casey, 1904 ||12 August 2011}}</ref>
==Description== The fusiform shell with a high spire and a truncate base is light-built with a deep, reverse "U-shaped" anal sinus on the shoulder slope and a tall, straight-sided conical spire. The apex is truncate. The sculpture of the shell shows strong spiral lirae and spiral keels with fine axial threads in the interstices. There is a spiral ridge at the lower columella. The radula is of the toxoglossan type.<ref>[http://s190418054.onlinehome.us/Portal/Turrids/Turrid10.pdf Chen-Kwoh Chang, ''Small Turrids of Taiwan'', Chapter 10, p. 96, June 1, 2001]{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=no }}</ref>
