Abstract
A new species of drilliine turrid is described in the genus Splendrillia from the Gulf of Carpentaria Queensland, Australia. It is compared with S. aurora (Thiele 1925) from Sumatra, Indonesia and two Australian turrids “Crassispira” duplaris (Hedley 1922) and Splendrillia eburnea (Hedley, 1922). Additional information is provided on two species of Splendrillia, S. gratiosa (Sowerby, 1896) and S. bednalli (Sowerby, 1896). S. gratiosa is redescribed and compared with S. hansenae Wells, 1990. The known range of S. bednalli is extended to the south coast of Western Australia.
