Raphaulus is a genus of land snails in the family Pupinidae.[1]
Rhaphaulus is a substitute name for Anaulus L. Pfeiffer, 1855, by Pfeiffer treated as a junior homonym of Anaulus Ehrenberg, 1844 [Diatomacea]. Under Art. 1.4, the name of a plant and of an animal are not homonyms, but Rhaphaulus may be conserved under Art. 23.9.[1]
