Genus Bouchetia Houart & Héros, 2008 View in CoL
TYPE SPECIES. — Poirieria (Paziella) vaubanensis Houart, 1986 , New Caledonia (by original designation).
REMARKS
Although molecular phylogenetic research is improving our understanding of the classification of supraspecific taxa in the Muricidae ( Barco et al. 2010) , based on shell morphology, Bouchetia and Flexopteron Shuto, 1969 (see below) were treated by Merle et al. (2011) as subgenera of Paziella Jousseaume, 1880 .
Pending the result of DNA analyses we feel it premature to adopt this new classification based only on shell characters. We will therefore continue to treat Bouchetia as a full genus as used by Houart & Héros (2008: 450).
