Triumphis is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pisaniidae, with historically controversial affinities.[1]
It is found in the tropical eastern Pacific.[2]
Triumphis was historically classified as a member of Buccinidae, but in 1998, Geerat J. Vermeij assigned it to Pseudolividae,[2] However, in 2017, Kantor and colleagues, in their revision of Olivoidea, tentatively assigned Triumphis to Nassariidae,[3] and in 2024, a phylogenetic analysis by Fedosov and colleagues recovered Triumphis as a member of Buccinoidea, the sister taxon to Pisania, the only member of Pisaniidae included in their analysis.[4] As of December 2024, WoRMS recognizes Triumphis as a member of Pisaniidae;[5] it had previously been included in Pseudolividae.[6]
