Taxonomy Buccinum / Nassarius elegans was regarded by Cernohorsky (1984) as a synonym of Nassarius comptus. It is listed in WoRMS as a valid species on the authority of H. Kool (pers. comm.). However, as the name Buccinum elegans Kiener, 1834, is nomenclaturally invalid, it is listed under its replacement name, Buccinum / Nassarius crassiusculus. The specimen illustrated by Jarrett (2000) as elegans is indeed that species and not comptus (Kool, pers. comm.). [details]
