This species was first described by William Healey Dall in 1925. Volutopsius minor was the original taxonomic designation,[2] but subsequent taxonomic revisions have reclassified it under the genus Plicifusus.
Description
The shell of Plicifusus minor can reach a length of up to 57 millimeters. Detailed morphological characteristics beyond shell length are not yet extensively documented in the available literature.
