Syrnola endolamellata is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.[2]

These teeth can also be found in the following species : Eulimella angeli Peñas & Rolán, 1997, Eulimella boydae van Aartsen, Gittenberger & Goud, 2000 and Eulimella vanhareni van Aartsen, Gittenberger & Goud, 1998.

This species occurs on the African side of the Atlantic Ocean, off Mauritania at depths between 30 m and 200 m.[3]
