Hi Riccardo,
Many thanks for your fast answer.
Vaugh lists it as synonym of Purpura but I received a specimen from NZ
under an Haustrum denomination. Since Vaugh's book is a little bit old and
things goes faster in the shell world, may be Petuch had ressucitated this
genus ... ;-))
Cheers,
Eduardo

I think Haustrum Perry, 1811
Conchology: pl. 14 et expl.
Type species by subsequent designation by Iredale, 1915: Haustrum
zelandicum Perry, 1811
should be considered as synonym of Purpura Bruguiere 1789
