Authority
editTucker (2004) states that Drillia sinclairi Gillies, 1882is a nude name, but it is not; Gillies (1882) renamed a misidentification by Hutton (1880), referring to p. 45 where Hutton gave a description of "Defranchia luteo-fasciata". This description is not copied from Reeve's description of "Pleurotoma luteo-fasciata".[1]
Description
editThe length of the shell attains 11 mm, its diameter 4.5 mm.
