Description

Description: Monotypic genus, so see description of the type species.

Etymology: The genus is named after the research vessel Alis, which, under captains Raymond Proner, Hervé Le Houarneau and Jean-Francois Barazer, conducted numerous biodiversity surveys in the South Pacific, leading to the discovery of many new species of marine molluscs, including numerous Turridae that are treated in this paper. It also refers to the overall similarity of the new genus to the earlier broader concept oí Gemmula.
