Abstract
Two species in the fasciolariid genus Fusolatirus Kuroda & Habe, 1971 from Japan are examined. F. coreanicus (E. A. Smith, 1879) is redescribed from the type material. The species misidentified by Habe (1961) as F. pilsbryi (Kuroda & Habe, 1952; = F. coreanicus) is recognized as distinct and described as F. higoi n. sp. It is further compared with F. rikae (Fraussen, 2003), a Philippine species described in the buccinid genus Euthria that is here reassigned to Fusolatirus. Two specimens from the same lot as the holotype of F. higoi are provisionally described as Fusolatirus sp.
