There seems to be confusion about the accepted name of this species. According to the University of Tokyo, the accepted name is Crassispira pseudoprincipalis,[http://umdb.um.u-tokyo.ac.jp/DKoseibu/jp/Collection/detail.php?umutNo=20070 University of Tokyo: Crassispira pseudoprincipalis (Yokoyama, 1920)] while according to the World Register of Marine Species, the accepted name is Inquisitor pseudoprincipalis. Both rely on the basionym Pleurotoma (Drillia) pseudoprincipalis Yokoyama, 1920.
