Abstract

Examination of the holotype of Fusinus hyphalus M. Smith, 1940 reveals that F. hyphalus is a subjective junior synonym of F. graciliformis (Sowerby, 1880). The species often called F. hyphalus and illustrated by authors is without a name. Fusinus satsumaensis spec. nov. [type locality: off Akune, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan] is proposed as the name for this misidentified species in the subgenus Chryseofusus Hadorn and Fraussen, 2003 and compared with F. (Chryseofusus) graciliformis (Sowerby, 1880), F. (C.) chrysodomoides (Schepman, 1911), F. (C.) jurgeni Hadorn and Fraussen, 2002 and F. (C.) westralis Hadorn and Fraussen, 2003.
