Buccipagoda is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Buccinidae, the true whelks.[2] It was first described in 1982 under the genus name Kapala by Winston Ponder[3] with the name honouring the FRV Kapala,[3][4] but the genus name had already been used. Hence, a replacement name was needed and given in 2010.[3][5] The type species is Buccipagoda kengrahami (Ponder, 1982), formerly Kapala kengrahami.[3]
