Fusus cinereusSay, 1822a, p. 236, [Say 1831b, pl. 29, middle] [Basis of the current name] Type Locality: Great Egg Harbor; Eastern shore of Maryland; New Jersey Range: 46°N to 27.7°N; 81°W to 64°W Depth: 0 to 15 m (live 0 m) Maximum Reported Size: 51.5 mm Distribution: Canada: Gulf of St. Lawrence; USA: New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida: East Florida References: Simpson (1887a) S; Melvill (1881); Henderson & Bartsch (1914) M; Bousfield (1964) NE; Porter (1974) D; Mikkelsen et al. (1995) W Comments: Rejected as a secondary homonym of Buccinum cinereum Born, 1778 by Gould (1841), but Lamarck (1822:290) had placed that species in Terebra, so secondary homonymy did not exist at the time. Also, Gould's substitute name, plicosum is not in use, so cinerea can be maintained (ICZN Article 59.3). Combining Genera: Buccinum Rapana Trophon
