Measurements

Distribution

Bohai Gulf, Yellow Sea, ECS and SCS; Japan to Philippines.

Type material

Holotype of Pleurotoma patruelis is BMNH 1873.8.6.14 (checked by Kilburn).

Remarks

After examining the type specimens of Vexitomina chinensis Ma, 1989 , Li and Li found that it closely resembles the variable Paradrillia patruelis (E. A. Smith, 1875) ( Powell 1969: 312, pl. 243, figs 1–4). Ma (1989) did not compare the two.
