FAMILY FASCIOLARIIDAE GRAY, 1853

SUBFAMILY FASCIOLARIINAE GRAY, 1853

Type genus: Fasciolaria Lamarck, 1799 (TS Murex tulipa Linnaeus, 1758 ; M)

= Latiridae Iredale, 1929. Type genus Latirus Montfort, 1810 (TS Latirus aurantiacus Montfort, 1810 ; OD).

SUBFAMILY FUSININAE WRIGLEY, 1927

Type genus: Fusinus Rafinesque, 1815 [TS Murex colus Linnaeus, 1758 ; by typification of replaced name ( Fusus Bruguière, 1789 )]

= Fusinae Swainson, 1840 (inv.). Type genus: Fusus Bruguière, 1789 (inv.) (TS Murex colus Linnaeus, 1758 ; by subsequent monotypy, Lamarck, 1799)

= Cyrtulidae MacDonald, 1869. Type genus: Cyrtulus Hinds, 1843 (TS Cyrtulus serotinus Hinds, 1843 ; M)

SUBFAMILY PERISTERNIINAE TRYON, 1880

Type genus: Peristernia Mörch, 1852 (TS Turbinella nassatula Lamarck, 1822; SD, Martens, 1868).

Remarks: The five-gene molecular phylogeny of the Fasciolariidae of Couto et al. (2016) revealed four major lineages. Three of these cluster together and are generally consistent with the widely accepted subfamilies Peristerniinae , Fasciolariinae and Fusininae [the latter further analysed by Kantor et al. (2018)], but with a significantly altered content mostly due to the transfer of several genera from Peristerniinae to the other two subfamilies. The analysis is congruent with that of Couto et al. (2016), the results of which are followed here with additions and corrections based on Kantor et al. (2018).

Vaux et al. (2017) attributed Pararetifusus to the Fasciolariidae , based on the erroneous assignment of Microfulgur carinatus Ponder, 1970 to Pararetifusus . Our analysis demonstrates that M. carinatus belongs to the Fasciolariidae (Fusininae) , while Pararetifusus , represented in our dataset by its type species P. tenuis , belongs to the Buccinidae (Siphonaliinae) . The morphology, anatomy and radula of a number of species of Fasciolariidae were recently described in detail by Couto & Simone (2019). For the genus-level taxonomy, see Snyder (2021).
