The species was unsatisfactory described by Frederick Price Marrat (1820-1904) and he didn't provide an image. According to Powell (1966) this species is a synonym of Drillia rosacea (Reeve, 1845).
Description
The shell grows to a length of 25 mm. This species resembles Drillia rosacea, but is obliquely ribbed, closely striated, and of uniform rose color. The color, according to Philippe Dautzenberg, is variable and may also be whitish with a dark brown band on the body whorl.
Distribution
This species occurs in the demersal zone of the Atlantic Ocean off Gabon.
