Bellaspira pentagonalis is a species of sea snail in the family Drilliidae.[1][2][3]
The shell grows to a length of 10 mm.[2]
The stout shell has a white tip. The whorls are whitish and the summits of the five ribs are brownish. The ribs are continuous from base to summit and the cross-section of the shell forms an exact pentagon with rounded angles. The ribs are not continuous, except accidentally. The other characters are closely similar to Fenimorea pagodula.[4]
