Conopleura latiaxisa is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Drilliidae.[2]
Its shell is relatively small for the genus, around 11 mm in length, slender shaped, thick, solid and semi-fusiform, early four whorls elate, acuminate spire, well swollen periphery. The body whorl is half of the shell length, with a protoconch of about 1.5 whorls. The teleoconch consists of around 5 to 6 convex whorls with a tall spire. Narrow axial ribs reach from suture to suture.
The species is only known from the type locality, which is situated between 180 and 250 m deep, near Mactan Island, Cebu, the Philippines.
The species lives on sandy mud with small gravel.
The word "latiaxisa" refers to the particular characteristics of trigonal spines, which reminds one of the genus Latiaxis in the subfamily Coralliophiliinae in the Muricidae.
