Comments on Subfamilial Relationships in Two Amphi-American Muricid Genera - Acanthotrophon and Attiliosa

Abstract

Vokes (1976) has treated the Recent and fossil species of the genus Attiliosa extensively, especially as they occur in the western Atlantic.  A reading of that paper has caused us to reassess the subfarnilial assignments of two of the Recent western Atlantic species and their relationships to two or more eastern Pacific species.
