Microdrillia sansibarica is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Borsoniidae.[1]
According to Kilburn this species may be a synonym of Microdrillia patricia, but appears to have a more produced base and to lack a basal cord on early whorls. [2]
Distribution
This marine species occurs in the Zanzibar Channel.
