The subfamily Fulgorariinae contains sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Volutidae.
==Description== They are characterized by a uniserial radula with tricuspid teeth. Lateral cusps are thickest along the lateral edge, broader and generally longer than the central cusps. The protoconch is large or small, papilliform and often tilted on its vertical axis. Shells are fusiform and show numerous irregular columellar plaits.
