Remarks.
Watson (1882)
assigned this species to genus
Fusus
Larmarck,
1799
in family
Muricidae Fleming, 1828
. The genus was subsequently placed in
Turridae
by some taxonomists (
Habe, 1964
;
Powell, 1969
).
Watson (1882)
did not provide illustrations of the
holotype
although gave a full description of this species. Our specimens agree with the original description of
Watson (1882)
.
