There seems to be confusion about the accepted name of this species. According to the University of Tokyo, the accepted name is Crassispira pseudoprincipalis,[2] while according to the World Register of Marine Species, the accepted name is Inquisitor pseudoprincipalis. Both rely on the basionym Pleurotoma (Drillia) pseudoprincipalis Yokoyama, 1920.
Description[edit]
The length of the shell attains 31.3 mm.
