Drillia rosolina is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Drilliidae. [2]
The species was unsatisfactory described by Frederick Price Marrat (1820-1904) and he didn't provide an image. According to Powell (1966) this species is a synonym of Drillia rosacea (Reeve, 1845). [3]
The shell grows to a length of 25 mm. This species resembles Drillia rosacea, but is obliquely ribbed, closely striated, and of uniform rose color. [4] The color, according to Philippe Dautzenberg, is variable and may also be whitish with a dark brown band on the body whorl. [5]
This species occurs in the demersal zone of the Atlantic Ocean off Gabon.
