A genus of the Buccinidae related to Hindsia. Animal un¬known. Shell oblong, with a large protoconch and four adult whorls. Sculpture: coarse spirals crossed by delicate radials. Spire unbroken by varices, but a well developed varix stands behind the aperture. In the posterior angle of the mouth a tubercle, on the columella no plications. Canal broad, short and open.
Type, F. typicus, Hedley.
Without the aid of the soft parts this genus cannot be finally classified. In several respects it recalls Colubraria but lacks the varices on the upper whorls. Again, it shares some aspects of Nassa, but the pattern of its sculpture is foreign to that group. The large apex and absence of columella plications sever it from Hindsia.
