Aulacofusus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Neptuneinae of the family Buccinidae, the true whelks.[1]
General characteristics
[edit]Another group of species within Colus, typified by Fusus spitzbergensis Reeve (synonym of Aulacofusus brevicauda (Deshayes, 1832)) has a special aspect due to the short siphonal canal and the prominence of the spiral ribs separated by chaneled interspaces. It may be called Aulacofusus [2]
