Phymorhynchus buccinoides is a species of sea snail in the family Raphitomidae, commonly found in cold seep ecosystems. It is widely distributed off Hatsushima, Sagami Bay, Japan, at depths of approximately 1,160 meters. This species thrives in extreme deep-sea environments and plays a role in the unique ecological dynamics of cold seeps, contributing to the biodiversity and nutrient cycling of these habitats.
