Fusinus Aepynotus
''Fusinus aepynotus'', known as the graceful spindle, is a species of small sea snail native to the Gulf of Mexico and southern Florida. Taxonomy The first specimens of ''Fusinus aepynotus'' known to science were dredged by the United States Coast Survey steamer ''Blake'' between 1877 and 1878. William Healey Dall, who had been tasked with describing the mollusk collection of the ''Blake'', named ''F. aepynotus'' in 1889 as one of several new species of ''Fusus'' from the collection. In 1904, Amadeus W. Grabau suggested that several species of ''Fusus'' collected by the ''Blake'', including ''F. aepynotus'', probably should be assigned to new genera, and that they may be descendants of the fossil genus '' Falsifusus''. Due to historical nomenclatural confusion that was not fully resolved by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature until 1994, the genus ''Fusus'' was eventually replaced by ''Fusinus''. In 1987, Petuch proposed classifying ''F. aepynotus'' in '' Hara ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 Helbling, ...

Fasciolariidae
Fasciolariidae is a family of small to large sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Buccinoidea. Species in Fasciolariidae are commonly known as tulip snails and spindle snails. The family Fasciolariidae most likely appeared about 110 million years ago during the Cretaceous period. Distribution The recent species inhabit tropical to temperate waters. Description The anatomy of Fasciolariidae and Buccinidae is very similar. Distinction is usually made on basis of differences in the radula and the stomach anatomy. The shells are usually reddish in color and have a moderate to large size, reaching a height between 1.0 and 60 cm. The shells are spindle-shaped and biconic. The spire is elongated. The siphonal canal is well developed and is long to moderately long. The columella varies between a smooth appearance and showing spiral folds. The horny operculum has an oval shape. Their radula is characteristic with narrow central teeth with three ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
