'''''Phos''''' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Nassariidae.<ref name="WoRMS">Bouchet, P. (2015). Phos Montfort, 1810. In: MolluscaBase (2017). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=205873 on 2017-11-22</ref>
==Taxonomy == This genus was treated within family Buccinidae. It was moved to family Nassariidae in 2016.<ref name="Galindo 2016">Galindo, L. A., Puillandre, N., Utge, J., Lozouet, P., & Bouchet, P.

==Description== Animal: The tentacles are connate at the base. The eyes are situated near their tips. The foot is covered with an auriculate shield-like lobe in front, and ends behind in a single tapering filament.
The shell is cancellated, oblong, acuminated and usually longitudinally ribbed. The outer lip is striated internally, with a slight sinus near the fore part. The columella is obliquely grooved, or shows a single plait in front.<ref>[https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/3782650 Adams, H. & Adams, A. (1853-1858).
