Nomenclature Kautsky attributed the name Fusus waelii to Nyst, 1852 [in Lyell, Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society of London 8: 301, 316] which, however, is a nomen nudum, proposed as a replacement name for “Fusus regularis de Koninck”, non Murex regularis J. Sowerby 1818; but “Fusus regularis de Koninck” is a non-existing name. The assumption that “Fusus regularis de Koninck” is a lapsus for Pleurotoma regularis de Koninck, 1838 [Nouveaux Mémoires de l'Académie Royale des Sciences et Belles-Lettres de Bruxelles 11: 23, pl. 3 figs 7-8] is unwarranted; it would also have the consequence that Fusus waelii would become an unnecessary replacement name of Orthosurcula regularis (de Koninck, 1838), and Aquilofusus a junior subjective synonym of Orthosurcula Casey, 1904, contrary to the consistent usage of these names. The concept of Fusus waelii was established by Beyrich, 1856, who provided a detailed description and figures. [details]
