Pseudomelatoma is a genus of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pseudomelatomidae. [2]

Description

(Original description) There is a group of species typified by Pleurotoma penicillata Carpenter which in sculpture and periostracum closely resemble the African Melatoma but their operculum has an apical nucleus and is long and narrow. They may be called Pseudomelatoma. MelatomaAnthony, 1847, is quite a different thing. [3]
