| | Fusinus verrucosus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) |
 | | Worldwide: only known from the Gulf of Suez and Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea; extremely common in the Suez Canal (Tillier and Bavay, 1905, as Fusus marmoratus); there is a similar species, Fusinus australis (Quoy and Gaimard, 1839) in southern Australia, but the large disjunction should suggest that it should be different. |
 | | Mediterranean: recorded first from Port Said, Egypt, as Fusus marmoratus (Tillier and Bavay, 1905), later from Israel (Haas, 1937). |
 | | IMPORTANCE TO Moazzo (1939) reported that this species is used as seafood along the Suez Canal. |
