Tenebrincola is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Volutidae.[1] It is a Western Pacific abyssal genus, which is defined by a very thin, smooth shell, a radula of the fulgorarid type, and the presence of an operculum.[2] Its phylogenetic relationship with the Asian fulgorarids needs to be clarified.
