'''''Fusus''''' is a [[genus]] of small to large [[sea snail]]s, [[marine (ocean)|marine]] [[gastropod]] [[mollusc]]s in the [[family (biology)|family]] [[Fasciolariidae]], the spindle snails and tulip snails.
''Fusus'' as a name for a genus of gastropods has confusingly been used three times. These names are, in whatever taxonomical sense, now invalid. This page is kept for historical reasons.
The name of the genus '''''Fusus'' Bruguière, 1789''' is invalid as it is a junior homonym of ''Fusus'' Helbling, 1779. (Placed by the [[International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature|ICZN]] on the Official Index by Opinion 1765, 1994, Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature, 51(2): 159). The accepted name is ''[[Fusinus]]'' Rafinesque, 1815 <ref name = "WoRMS">[http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=446048 WoRMS : Fusus; accessed : 31 August 2010]</ref>
The genus '''''Fusus'' Helbling, 1779''', has also been placed on the Official Index by Opinion 1765 (1994, Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 51(2): 159-161), i.e. it cannot be used as a valid name. The type species of ''Fusus'' Helbling is ''Murex intertextus'' Helbling, 1779 (= ''Fusus intertextus'' Helbling, 1779), and it belongs in the family [[Colubrariidae]].<ref name = "WoRMS" />
Fusus Helbling, 1779 (Mollusca, Gastropoda) has been suppressed, and Fusinus Rafinesque, 1815 and Colubraria Schumacher, 1817 are conserved.  ICZN 1993. Opinion 1765. Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature, 51(2): 159-161  [https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/12251905 CZN 1993. Opinion 1765. Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature, 51(2): 159-161]
The genus '''''Fusus'' Röding, 1798''' (type species = ''Fusus cynara'' Röding, 1798 = ''Turbinella angulata'' (Lightfoot, 1786) ) is a junior homonym of ''Fusus'' Helbling, 1779. It has also been placed on the Official Index of the [[International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature|ICZN]] by Opinion 1765 and is an invalid name.
