==Taxonomy== H. Pilsbry and H. Lowe(1932) put in ''Brephodrillia'' the species of ''Iredalea'' with a dorsal varix.<ref>Pilsbry, H.A. & Lowe, H.N. (1932) "West Mexican and Central American mollusks collected by H. N. Lowe, 1929–1931". ''Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia'', 84, 33–144, 17 pls.</ref> with ''Brephodrillia perfectus'' Pilsbry and Lowe, 1932 as type species. This genus is, however, considered a synonym of ''Iredalea'' Oliver, 1915 by Powell, 1966<ref>Powell, A.W.B. (1966) "The molluscan families Speightiidae and Turridae an evaluation of the valid taxa, both Recent and fossil, with lists of characteristic species". ''Bulletin of the Auckland Institute and Museum'', 5, 1–184, 23 pls.</ref> In 1989 Vaught treated ''Brephodrillia'' as a subgenus of ''Iredalea''.<ref>Vaught, K.C., 1989, ''A Classification of the Living Mollusca'' pp. 58-61</ref>
