Taxon Notes:This group was previously regarded as a subgenus of Poirieria, but is now regarded as a distinct genus. Its systematic position is currently uncertain, and it has most recently been regarded as Muricidae incertae cedis. Here we retain it in Muricidae: Muricinae pending further molecular studies. This code is provided for use when identification of a specimen to this level is sufficient, or when no further detail is available.
