Several surveys along the Northwest African coast recovered a small collection of Fusinus s. l. specimens examined in this work. A total of 5 species were identified, which led to taxonomic revisions for 4 of them. Pseudofusus rosamariae sp. nov. is described and figured here. Fusinus boettgeri (Maltzan, 1884) is reassigned to the genus Aptyxis Troschel, 1868, and the Fusinus bocagei (P. Fischer, 1882) complex is reassigned to Pseudofusus Monterosato, 1884. The genus Sinistralia H. Adams & A. Adams, 1853 is revalidated for 2 sinistral species from the northeast Atlantic: Fusinus maroccensis (Gmelin, 1791) and Fusinus saundersi Hadorn & Rolán, 2009. |
