Crassispira pseudoprincipalis is an extinct species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and their 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.[3] Both rely on the basionym Pleurotoma (Drillia) pseudoprincipalis Yokoyama, 1920.
