Carinodrillia is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and allies.
Description For the species in which the spiral sculpture predominates and in which there is a tendency for the peripheral cord to form a carina, the name Carlnodrillia is proposed with Clathrodrillia halis Dall, as the type. This forms a very natural group containing a large number of species mostly unicolor, whitish or brownish.Dall (1919) Descriptions of new species of Mollusca from the North Pacific Ocean; Proceedings of the U.S. National Museum, vol. 56 (1920)
