Nomenclatural emendations in the family Fasciolariidae (Mollusca : Gastropoda)

This paper presents and discusses nomenclatural changes in the molluscan fa mily Fasciolariidae. Peristernia reincarnata n.sp, is described for Turbine lla incarnata "Kiener, 1840", and Fusinus quandumpulchellus n.sp. is descri bed for Fusus pulchellus Philippi, 1844. Two new names are proposed: Dolich olatirus smithi nom. nov. pro Latirus angustus E.A. Smith, 1884 (non Murex angustus Gmelin, 1791) and Fusinus complex nom. nov. pro Fusus simpler E.A. Smith, 1879 (non F. simplex Deshayes, 1835, nec F. simplex Grateloup, 1847 ). The priority of Pleuroploca clava (Jonas, 1846) over Plueroploca persica (Reeve, 1847) is noted. Corrected dates of authorship and original descrip tion locations are given for Dolicholatirus acus, Fusinus gracillimus and F usinus spectrum, all three species of Adams and Reeve in Reeve, 1848, and f or Pleuroploca lugubris heynemanni (Dunker in Kuster and Kobelt, 1876). The spelling of Fusinus anni Snyder, 1986 is emended grammatically to F. annae .
