Elaeocyma empyrosia is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Drilliidae.

(Original description) The solid shell has a high acute spire and a polished surface.

A paler peripheral band develops white patches where it crosses the ribs.

The transverse sculpture consists of (about 11) slightly oblique somewhat flexuous ribs, obsolete below the periphery and upon the anal fasciole, the sharpest on the earlier whorls.

The spiral sculpture consists of coarse, sometimes nearly obsolete threads, most obvious below the periphery.
