Note.
According to
Tucker & Tenorio (2009)
, this genus is characterised by short and rounded shells with convex spire whorls with cords. Nodules on spire whorls are absent or become obsolete very early. The subsutural flexure is shallow and asymmetrical. In addition, we consider the presence of more or less prominent beads on the last whorl as a characteristic feature, being also present on the
type
species. The genus
Artemidiconus
was not treated by
Puillandre
et al
. (2014 a

).
