Acus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Terebridae, the auger snails.^[3]

The genus name Acus belongs to the Pisces. Therefore Acus Gray, 1847 is no longer accepted, since it is a junior homonym of Acus Lacépède, 1803. Its accepted name is now Oxymeris Dall, 1903.

Description

Whorls simple, aperture elongate, columella simple and thickened, subsutural band present, often ornamented.^[2]
