Phos is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Nassariidae.[2]
Taxonomy

This genus was treated within family Buccinidae. It was moved to family Nassariidae in 2016.[3]
Description

Animal: The tentacles are connate at the base. The eyes are situated near their tips. The foot is covered with an auriculate shield-like lobe in front, and ends behind in a single tapering filament.

The shell is cancellated, oblong, acuminated and usually longitudinally ribbed. The outer lip is striated internally, with a slight sinus near the fore part. The columella is obliquely grooved, or shows a single plait in front. [4]
