【骨螺属】
骨螺属（学名：Murex）是新腹足目骨螺科的一个由中型到大型的捕食性海螺物种组成的属。主要分布于印度尼西亚、中国大陆、台湾，常栖息在潮下带。
==语源==
骨螺属的学名「murex」最早使用的人是亚里士多德，专门用来指这一种海螺。这个语言上的证据亦使本属成为了科学界最早使用的物种学名。
==分布==
“骨螺属”仅是印度洋-太平洋的一个属，Winston Ponder & Vokes（1988）证明了这一点。以前被认为西大西洋中属于骨螺属的物种现在被放置在Haustellum属中。
==习性==
大多数骨螺属的物种生活在潮间带或浅潮下带，在岩石和珊瑚之间。
==外壳描述==
该属包括许多很艳丽的成员，它们长长的贝壳高高地浮雕出刺状或叶状的部分。在华丽外壳的内表面一般都很鲜艳。
