Paradrillia patruelis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Horaiclavidae.[1]
The length of the shell attains 18 mm.
The reddish brown shell shows a white narrow band on the periphery, and, on the body whorl, a second inferior band. It contains 12½ whorls, with obsolete flexuous longitudinal plications, crossed by revolving lines. These are nodulous at the periphery, and less distinctly so inferiorly. The operculum has a subcentral nucleus.[2]
