| Abstract |
A systematic revision of species based on shell morphology and ontogeny is here proposed for some Hexaplex Perry, 1810, Phyllonotus Swainson, 1833 and all known Muricanthus Swainson, 1840. Modifications are indicated in the classification of Hexaplex and Phyllonotus. Five species are reassigned to Muricanthus: M. ambiguus (Reeve, 1845), M. callidinus Berry, 1958, M. nigritus (Philippi, 1845), M. radix (Gmelin, 1791) and the elusive M. strausi (A.H.Verrill, 1950). All these species are described, commented on and illustrated. More than twenty other taxa are here assigned or reassigned to Hexaplex s.s., Hexaplex (Trunculariopsis) Cossmann, 1921 and Phyllonotus Swainson, 1833. |
