Austrofusus is a genus of medium-sized sea snails or whelks, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Buccinidae, the true whelks.
Description
Two extant species Austrofusus glans and A. chathamensis are endemic to New Zealand waters,[1][2] but most species are extinct and there is an abundant fossil record within the country.[3]
Evolution
Austrofusus glans is not closely related to other extant New Zealand buccinid whelks, and is instead related to the Northern Hemisphere genus Colus.[4]
