Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database
WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at
Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005
Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). If you need help with any aspect of an article, please leave a note at the Project talk page.
A note
Note: The taxonomy for this species has changed and needs to reflect Genus Triplofusus as per WoRMS AphiaID: 420051. It needs the species name changed on the title of the article.

This has now been done.

Looks like the Triplofusus papillosus[1] is a "taxon inquirendum" in WoRMS, and Triplofuscus giganteus[2] is accepted. —

Unable to move the page name to reflect the renaming in 2018 to Triplofuscus giganteus as indicated above! If someone could do that, please, I think the rest is correct.
