Drillia

Gastropoda - Neogastropoda - Drilliidae

Taxonomy
Drillia was named by Gray (1838) [Sepkoski's age data: T Than R Sepkoski's reference number: 700]. It is extant. Its type is Drillia umbilicata.

It was reranked as Turris (Drillia) by Gabb (1864), Gabb (1873) and Moody (1916); it was reranked as Pleurotoma (Drillia) by Dall (1903) and Aldrich (1906); it was reranked as Surcula (Drillia) by Anderson (1928); it was reranked as Tropisurcula (Drillia) by Mansfield (1940); it was reranked as Clavus (Drillia) by Baluk (2003).

It was assigned to Pleurotoma by Dall (1903) and Aldrich (1906); to Turris by Gabb (1864), Gabb (1873) and Moody (1916); to Pleurotomidae by Martin (1904) and Vredenburg (1921); to Gastropoda by Mansfield (1925); to Turrinae by Woodring (1928); to Surcula by Anderson (1928); to Tropisurcula by Mansfield (1940); to Clavinae by Woodring (1970); to Turridae by Oostingh (1935), Mukerjee (1939), Gardner (1948) and Kensley and Pether (1986); to Neogastropoda by Sepkoski (2002); to Clavus by Baluk (2003); and to Drilliidae by Bouchet et al. (2011).
