Splendrillia skambos is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Drilliidae.[1]
The small, orange to yellowish, claviform shell has a length of 8.8 mm, its diameter 3.6 mm. The smooth protoconch is small (height about 0.8 mm) and consists of 1⅔ whorls, the teleoconch contains 5½ whorls. The axial ribs are strong (with 10-14 ribs on the penultimate whorl). The body whorl has not an inverted cone shape and its dorsum is not prominently humped and is without a distinct varix. The rostrum is not thick. The short siphonal canal is relatively wide and twisted slightly to the right. The aperture is narrowly pear-shaped. The outer lip is not flattened in the middle. The columella is convex and its base is curved to the left.[2]
