Dear Henk, John and interested Colleagues
    I described the genus Coronium (ref. below) in Muricidade /
Trophoninae. An opinion shared with E. Vokes, who also read the MS in
that time.
By the way, I am at the moment making a phylogenetic analysis of the
Muricidae, based on representatives. I intend to test the monophyly of
the family and its subgroups. Coronium is one of the samples. The
scenario of samples is still opened, and new acquisitions are welcome.
    Best wishes
    Luiz
