Anal sulcus

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Anal_sulcus

The anal sulcus, also called the anal sinus or anal canal, in Gastropods is a notch, a shelly tube at the top of the aperture. It is the first notch close to the suture. It houses the anal siphon through which the snail expels water and waste products. The anal sulcus can be described, according to the species, as well-defined, weakly defined, shallow, sharp, wide, narrow or inverted U-shaped. In some species, such as in the Murex family, the anal sulcus is absent. rdf:langString

It can also have a subsutural callus (such as in Clathrodrillia callianira).
