Buccinulum is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the whelk family Tudiclidae.

Description

Buccinulum are small to medium-sized marine snails. Species vary significantly in shell sculpture and colouration and can be difficult to distinguish from one another.

Distribution

The majority of extant and fossil species are from New Zealand. Most species are commonly abundant within the intertidal and shallow subtidal zone of New Zealand beaches.

Evolution

Buccinulum is closely related to the genus Aeneator.
