Nomenclature Not available (no diagnosis, no type species designated) from Kira, 1962, Shells of the western Pacific in color, 1: 85. Kuroda & Habe designated Fusus simplex E.A. Smith, 1879 [renamed Fusinus complex Snyder, 2000, because it is a junior homonym] as type species. Snyder (2003) argued that they had misidentified the type species and, under Art. 70.3, fixed Simplicifusus noguchii as type. [details]
