1890c: 182 [XXXVIII c: 916]—available name

Type material. MCZR –M–17431 —7 sh “Med. Washington Giglioli 1882!” “ Pseudofusus gigliolii, Monts vidi Nat. Sic. 1890 p. 22 Communication”// 1 sh “ F. gigliolii Monts ms.” (recto), “Sped. del Washington ” (verso).

Type locality. Described from material sampled (possibly, but not certainly, off Palermo) during one of the 1882– 1884 oceanographic expeditions of R/V Washington (capt. G.B Magnaghi; scientist E.H. Giglioli).

Remarks. Bouchet & Warén (1985) considered it a synonym of Fusinus rostratus, an opinion which we share. Settepassi (1985) figured a syntype as Fusinus (Fusinus) gigliolii Monterosato. Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as a synonym of Fusinus rostratus (Olivi, 1792) .
