Abstract
In the second part of a review of the genus Fusinus in Japan, several species commonly confused or associated with F. undatus (Gmelin, 1791) and F. similis (Baird, 1873) are examined via their types and material from various collections. F. undatus and F. similis have been frequently confused in literature, but are here shown to be separate species. F. similis is further compared with the types and other examples of the morphologically similar F. galatheae Powell, 1967, F. bountyi Rehder & Wilson, 1975 and F. genticus (Iredale, 1936). In addition, F. sandvichensis (Sowerby III, 1880), F. michaelrodgersi Goodwin, 2001 and R midwayensis Kosuge, 1979 are illustrated for comparison. The new species Fusinus mauiensis is described from Hawaii, where it is apparently endemic to the island of Maui. Lectotypes are selected for Fusinus undatus, F. similis and F. sandvichensis.
