Genus Aleutibuccinum n. gen. Figures 20 A–E urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 4FFF4DE6-E1F3-4DCF-A324-1814FB1C113F Type species: Bathybuccinum clarki Kantor & Harasewych, 1998 (n. comb.) Description: Medium size (height to 7 cm); Profile high, whorls rounded to angulate; spiral sculpture of fine lirae, axial sculpture absent; mature lip slightly flared; operculum sub-triangular with lateral nucleus. Remarks: Kantor & Harasewych (1998) Originally placed Aleutibuccinum clarki in the genus Bathybuccinum (Golikov & Sirenko, 1988) subgenus Ovulatibuccinum (Golikov & Sirenko, 1988) but it is clearly distinct from both of these groups. The unique operculum sets this genus apart from all other North Pacific Buccininae. At present, the Aleutibuccinum clarki is the only species assigned to this genus.
