Phycothais is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Rapaninae of the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails. [2]
Species within the genus Phycothais include:
Rapaninae is a subfamily of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Muricidae.
Haustrum is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Haustrinae of the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Strioterebrum is an extinct genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Terebridae, the auger snails.
Phycothais texturata is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Haustrum scobina, or the oyster borer, is a species of predatory sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails. Oyster borers use a mucous layer that surrounds the entrance to their shell to prevent desiccation in the midlittoral and high tidal zones. Oyster Borers are frequently found in crevices which have more protection from predators, higher water availability, lower temperature, extremes in salinity and protection from the sun and wind.
