Buccinum leucostoma, commonly known as the yellow-mouth buccinum, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Buccinidae, the true whelks. [1]
The size of the shell of an adult varies between 55 mm and 120 mm. The snail's salivary glands contains the toxin tetramine (tetramethylammonium ion).
