Chicoreus

Gastropoda - Neogastropoda - Muricidae

Taxonomy
Chicoreus was named by Monfort (1810) [Sepkoski's age data: T Ol-u R Sepkoski's reference number: 614]. It is extant. Its type is Murex ramosus.

It was reranked as Murex (Chicoreus) by Tate (1888), Oostingh (1935), Mukerjee (1939), Gardner (1947), Gardner (1948), Woodring (1959).

It was assigned to Gastropoda by Montfort (1810); to Murex by Tate (1888), Oostingh (1935), Mukerjee (1939), Gardner (1947), Gardner (1948), Woodring (1959); to Neogastropoda by Sepkoski (2002); to Muricidae by Ladd (1982), Todd (2001), Landau et al. (2007); and to Muricinae by MacNeil (1960), Vokes (1989), Wilson (1994), Landau and Marques da Silva (2010).
