Inquisitor pseudoprincipalis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and allies.[1]

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.

Distribution

[edit]

This marine species occurs off Vietnam and in the Yellow Sea. Fossils were found in Pliocene strata in the Naganuma Formation at Kanagawa, Japan.
