Remarks.

Cárdenas et al. (2008) explained that some authors considered Fusitriton cancellatus (Lamark, 1816) as a valid synonym. Concurringly, Zelaya (2009a) reported Fusitriton magellanicus as a synonym of Fusitriton cancellatus . However, according to Bouchet (2012), the taxonomically accepted name of the species is Fusitriton magellanicus .
