Ericusa

See text Ericusa is a small taxonomic genus of medium-sized predatory marine gastropod molluscs in the family Volutidae, the volutes.

The shells of Ericusa have a small rounded protoconch, are biconical with a rounded shoulder and have an elongate aperture with 4 distinct columellar plicae and a thickened outer lip.

The protoconch is globose and deviates 45° from the axis of the shell.

The colour pattern of Ericusa is pink or yellow brown overlaid with a varied brown pattern.

[3] Several infraspecific taxa of Ericusa fulgetra have been named, on the basis of colour patterns of the shell.
