General characteristics

Another group of species within Colus, typified by Fusus spitzbergensis Reeve (synonym of Aulacofusus brevicauda (Deshayes, 1832)) has a special aspect due to the short siphonal canal and the prominence of the spiral ribs separated by chaneled interspaces. It may be called Aulacofusus [2]
