Abstract

Contrary to the conclusion reached by Beu and Marshall in this journal last year, Neptunea (Austrofusus) nodosa Martyn, 1784 was one of the species originally included in Austrofusus when it was first established by Kobelt in 1879, so the subsequent type species designation by Martens in 1882 is valid, and Austrofusus is the correct genus to use for Drupa glans Röding, 1798. The genus for the South American taxa incorrectly referred to Austrofusus by Beu and Marshall , and currently in Aeneator Finlay, 1926, remains to be established.
