Taxonomy Bouchet & Warén (1980) and Figueira & Absalão (2010) considered Drilliola Locard, 1897 and Microdrillia Casey, 1903 as synonyms, but others e.g. Landau & Harzhauser (2022) keep them separate based on the paucispiral protoconch in the former and multispiral, sculptured protoconch in the latter. The placement of particular species is in a state of flux and this character has been shown to vary within genera among conoidean gastropods [details]
