Brachytoma

Brachytoma is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pseudomelatomidae.

R.N. Kilburn proposed in 1989 the name Brachytoma to be rejected, since the type species Pleurotoma strombiformis <small>G. B. Sowerby II, 1839</small> is considered a nomen dubium and there is no valid ground for conferring type status upon it.
