Description
Genus Phos Montfort, 1810
Phos Montfort, 1810: 484–486.
Type species
Murex senticosus Linnaeus, 1758, by original designation (Tropical Indo-West Pacific).
Remarks
The Photinae were recently the subject of a profound taxonomic revision (Galindo et al. 2016). Molecular data prove that all species belonging to Phos Montfort, 1810 represent a monophyletic group occuring exclusively in the Indo-West Pacific, distinct from the Carribean Antillophos Woodring, 1928 (see Galindo et al. 2016: 343, fig. 1, 345, fig. 2, 348, fig. 3). It is typical that genera within Nassariidae are geographically restricted clades, while the biogeographic range of genera is usually broader in Buccinidae. The generic separation within Photinae based on sculpture and protoconch morphology, as discussed by Fraussen & Poppe (2005: 76–77, 81–82), no longer holds. As a result, Phos senticosus, with a smooth protoconch, is congeneric with other Indo-West Pacific species that have a characteristically sculptured protoconch and that were formerly placed in Antillophos. For a discussion about the taxonomic positions of Phos and Antillophos within Nassariidae, we refer to Galindo et al. (2016).
