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 Smith, 1877, synonym of Epidirona multiseriata (E. A. Smith, 1877). It differs however by the position of the anal sinus which is situated on the shoulder slope and not on the shoulder itself.

A., 1906) Paradrillia alluaudi (Dautzenberg, 1932) † Paradrillia astuta (Yokoyama, 1928) † Paradrillia astutoida (Shuto, 1961) † Paradrillia boehmi (K.
