Paradrillia

Paradrillia is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Horaiclavidae.

Coronacomitas was originally proposed by T. Shuto in 1983 as a subgenus of Paradrillia for Paradrillia gemmata. It showed some resemblance to Pleurotoma multiseriata <small>Smith, 1877</small>, synonym of Epidirona multiseriata <small>(E. A. Smith, 1877)</small>. It differs however by the position of the anal sinus which is situated on the shoulder slope and not on the shoulder itself.
