Fusus
''Fusus'' is a genus of small to large sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Fasciolariidae, the spindle snails and tulip snails. ''Fusus'' as a name for a genus of gastropods has confusingly been used three times. These names are, in whatever taxonomical sense, now invalid. This page is kept for historical reasons. The name of the genus ''Fusus'' Bruguière, 1789 is invalid as it is a junior homonym of ''Fusus'' Helbling, 1779. (Placed by the ICZN on the Official Index by Opinion 1765, 1994, Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature, 51(2): 159). The accepted name is ''Fusinus'' Rafinesque, 1815 The genus ''Fusus'' Helbling, 1779, has also been placed on the Official Index by Opinion 1765 (1994, Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 51(2): 159-161), i.e. it cannot be used as a valid name. The type species of ''Fusus'' Helbling is ''Murex intertextus'' Helbling, 1779 (= ''Fusus intertextus'' Helbling, 1779), and it belongs in the family Colubrariidae. Fusus Helbl ...
