Clavus infrafusca
species of mollusc
Clavus infrafusca is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Drilliidae.
Description
The shell grows to a length of 19 mm, its diameter 7 mm. The ground color of the shell is white. The interstices between the ribs are red, while the lowest part of the body whorl is dark red. The very acute, turriform shell contains 10 whorls. The first 2-3 are not shouldered, the others are shouldered, concave above the angle, below hardly convex. The shell shows many opisthocline ribs of which the higher parts are thickened. They show minute red dots at the angle. The body whorl is very large compared to the length of the shell. The aperture has an oval shape.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Clavus infrafusca”, the useful work is to connect “species of mollusc” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5129725. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
