Abstract
In the fourth paper of a series, the authors treat the remaining valid named taxa in the fasciolariid genus Fusinus Rafinesque, 1815 that belong to the Japanese fauna. The species that Tokubei Kuroda originally intended to describe as F. grabaui is here described as F. amadeus n. sp. A second species that previously bore a Kuroda manuscript name is described as F. teretron n. sp. The genus Propefusus Iredale, 1924 is synonymized with Fusinus, and due to resulting homonymy its type species, Pyrula undulatus Perry, 1811, is renamed Fusinus pyrulatus (Reeve, 1847).
