This is Houart's second book in the "Living Muricidae of the World" series, following the earlier publication on the Muricinae subfamily. The book provides thorough descriptions of the shells, including their names, synonyms, and physical characteristics, making it a valuable resource for shell identification.
With 164 species across 33 genera, this book represents the entire Ocenebrinae subfamily. The author, an expert in the study of these shells, has ensured the photography is of high quality, further aiding in the identification process.
