Buccinulum is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Buccinidae, the true whelks.[3][2]
Description
Buccinulum are small to medium-sized marine snails.[4][5] Species vary significantly in shell sculpture and colouration[4] and can be difficult to distinguish from one another.[5]
Distribution
The majority of extant and fossil species are from New Zealand.[6][7] Most species are commonly abundant within the intertidal and shallow subtidal zone of New Zealand beaches.[4][5]
Evolution
Buccinulum is closely related to the genus Aeneator.[3][5]
