Leptadrillia quisqualis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Drilliidae.[1]
The shell grows to a length of 11 mm. The white shell is obtusely angulated, smooth above the angle, which is nodose by the termination of short longitudinal ribs.[2]
This species occurs in the demersal zone of the Pacific Ocean off Nicaragua. Clathurella quisqalis (Hinds, 1843) has also been described from Darnley Island, Torres Straits.[3]
