Genus Dermomurex Monterosato, 1890 View in CoL

TYPE SPECIES. — Murex scalarinus Bivona-Bernardi, 1832 View in CoL (by original designation) junior synonym of Murex scalaroides Blainville, 1829 View in CoL . Pliocene: Mediterranean Sea; Recent, Mediterranean Sea and Senegal (see Merle et al. 2011).

REMARKS

In their muricid phylogeny based on molecular data, Barco et al. (2010) strongly suggested the polyphyly of the Muricinae sensu Vokes (1996), but, as the relationships with the clade Muricinae (s.s.) are not resolved, we cannot be totally sure of the lack of relationships between the Dermomurex subclade and the Attiliosa- Muricopsinae subclade and the clade Muricinae (s.s.). Considering these results, Merle et al. (2011) assigned Dermomurex to an informal Aspelloid group, for which the status among the clade of the Muricinae (s.s.) remains uncertain or needs to be verified.
