Type Data: Holotype in MNCM deposited and catalogued Type Size: 17 x 9 mm Nomenclature: An available name Taxonomy: A valid species Current Group Names:- Family:-CONIDAE SubFamily:-PUNCTICULIINAE Genus:-Africonus Species:-claudiae Synonyms:- There are no junior synonyms Geographic Range:-N. Maio, Cape Verde Habitat:-Found at 1-2 m in rocks and coral slabs Description:-Source Original description Small to moderately small shell. The profile is conical to broadly conical, with a moderate spire and a subangulated shoulder. Outline of the last whorl convex. Spire most often eroded, concave with flat or slightly convex sutural ramps presenting fine striae. The ground color of the shell varies from pale yellow-green to light bluish grey. There is a reticulated pattern of white flecks and dark brown dots forming bands which are variable in number and width, usually three: a thin one on the shoulder, another at the height of the maximum diameter of the shell, and another broader one slightly below the midbody. The base is dark, often covered by reticulated pattern of white flecks and dark brown dots forming bands which are variable in number and width, usually three: a thin one on the shoulder, another at the height of the maximum diameter of the shell, and another broader one slightly below the midbody. The base is dark, often covered by reticulated pattern. In some cases, only white dots and flecks are present, with no traces of dark brown dots. The aperture is purplish brown, with two white bands, one in the middle portion and another one in the upper part. The inner lip is white, showing traces of the yellow near the edge. Discussion:- ---------- Conus clenchi Martins, 1943 Pictures: Picture Link: Holotype in MNRJ Mike Filmer Published in: Bol. Mus. Nac.. Rio de Janeiro, Nova Serie. Zool., n p. 2 & 3, text f. Ocean geography: West Atlantic and Caribbean Type Locality: Barra do Furado, Municipio de Campos, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; At shore line. Type Data: Holotype in MNRJ deposited and catalogued Type Size: 36 x 19.5 mm Nomenclature: An available name Taxonomy: Synonym form of Conus lemniscatus Reeve, 1849 Current Group Names:- Family:-CONIDAE SubFamily:-PUNCTICULIINAE Genus:-Lamniconus Species:-lemniscatus clenchi forma Synonyms:- There are no junior synonyms Geographic Range:-Urauguay, Argentina Habitat:-No Data Description:-Source Vink C. lemniscatus closely resembles c. clerii, but in general is somewhat smaller, length up to 50 mm. Typical specimens are more slender with a more straight-sided spire. The body whorl is straight to convex with spiral ridges near the base, which in some spcimens may cover the body whorl. Shoulder roundly angulate, early spire whorls convex, later spire whorls flat to slightly concave and not stepped in typical C. lemniscatus. Nucleus: 1.5 whorls. The first 2 postnuclear whorls, normally smooth, may show irregular coronation (but not the regular axial sculpture of c. clerii). The colour pattern is like that of C. clerii; in most specimens of typical C. lemniscatus the axial flames are lighter coloured and cover larger areas so that the spiral lines of dark squares become prominent. However, there are specimens of c. clerii with the same colour pattern, and the only way to distinguish the two species without any doubt is by comparing the early spire whorls For many years C. lemniscatus was used erroneously for Indian Ocean shell now recognised as C. dictator. C clenchi was used for the Brasil specimens now known to be C. lemniscatus. The type specimen of C. clenchi is orange with reduced white areas and distinctive bands of orange/brown.

I, Conus, pl. 43, sp. 229 Ocean geography: West Atlantic and Caribbean Type Locality: Cape St. Thomas, Brazil Type Data: Holotype in NHMUK deposited and catalogued Type Size: 31.9 x 15.7 mm Nomenclature: An available name Taxonomy: A valid species Current Group Names:- Family:-CONIDAE SubFamily:-PUNCTICULIINAE Genus:-Lamniconus Species:-clerii Synonyms:- tostesi Petuch, 1986 Geographic Range:-Brazil - N Argentina Habitat:-Offshore Description:-Source Vink A relatively light but strong shell, 30 to 60 mm, with low to moderate concave-sided spire. Body whorl rather straight with slightly pinched-in waist, and smooth except for faint spiral ridges near the base. Shoulder angulate to carinate, early spire whorls stepped and sharply angulate, later spire whorls, concave above and more roundly angulate. Nucleus: 11/2 whorls; first 3 to 4 postnuclear whorls with axial sculpture on the sides crossed by 2 spiral striae.Body whorl white variegated with dark brown or yellow brown axial flames (of- ten interrupted at mid-body) and spiral lines of small dark squares at regular intervals. The dark squares often coincide with the axial flames, making the pattern of flames predominant. Discussion:- Petuch described C. tostesi now considered a form or synonym. Conus tostesi, is closest to the sympatric C. clerii Reeve, 1844, but differs in being a much smaller, more elongate shell, by having a higher, scalariform spire, by being of a violet color instead of white, and by having a much larger, mamillate protoconch. Conus clerii f. tostesi Petuch, 1986 Pictures: Picture Link: Holotype in MOFU Paulo Màrcio Costa Picture Link: Mike Filmer Published in: Proc. Biol. Soc.

Type Data: Holotype in MOFU deposited and catalogued Type Size : 35 x 18 mm Nomenclature: An available name Taxonomy: A valid species or a synonym form of Conus clerii Reeve, 1844 Current Group Names:- Family:-CONIDAE SubFamily:-PUNCTICULIINAE Genus:-Lamniconus Species:- tostesi Synonyms:- There are no junior synonyms Geographic Range:-Brazil Habitat:-Found at depths of 15-100 m Description:-Source Original description Shell elongate, thin fragile; spire protracted, slightly scalariform; body whorl shiny, with anterior one-third covered with numerous fine spiral threads; shoulder produced but slightly rounded; color pale violet to darker violet with three wide bands of reddish-brown, one just below shoulder, one around mid-body, and one around anterior end; banded color pattern overlaid by 10-14 rows of brown dots; anterior tip darker violet on some specimens; spire white with numerous crescent-shaped flammules; protoconch large, mamillate; periostracum thin, smooth translucent yellow. Conus tostesi, is closest to the sympatric C. clerii Reeve, 1844, but differs in being a much smaller, more elongate shell, by having a higher, scalariform spire, by being of a violet color instead of white, and by having a much larger, mamillate protoconch. This new Brazilian species actually shows a closer affinity to some of the rare Paolinian-Submagellanic species such as C. carcellesi Martins, 1945 and C. platenesis Frenguelli, 1946 from the Mar del Plata, (Frenguelli 1946). Conus tostesi differs from both of these species, however, by having a three-banded color pattern, finer body sculpture, and by lacking spiral grooves on the spire.

(on p. 5) Ocean geography:East Atlantic and West Africa Type Locality: Harbor near Anse Bernard, Dakar, Senegal Type Data: Holotype in DMNH deposited and catalogued Type Size: 25.7 x 13 mm Nomenclature: An available name Taxonomy: A valid species Current Group Names:- Family:-CONIDAE SubFamily:-PUNCTICULIINAE Genus:-Lautoconus Species:-cloveri Synonyms:- soaresi Trovao, 1978 Geographic Range:-Senegal Habitat:-Shallow Water Description:-Source Walls Moderately heavy, with a low/good gloss; low conical, the posterior sides strongly convex; basal ridges; shoulder broad rounded, convex at top; spire moderately tall, sharply pointed, tip mucronate; side of spire convex anteriorly, concave posteriorly; body whorl creamy white covered with wavy brown narrow axial lines that overlap to produce fine tents; base white to pale tan; a distinct broad lighted midbody band with sharp edges, formed by lines being narrower and widely spaced; a broad white band below shoulder; spire white, without pattern or with short fine brown lines on later whorls; early whorls eroded white; aperture moderately wide, slightly wider anteriorly; outer lip thin, sharp, evenly convex; anal notch shallow or obsolete; mouth white with violet tones; columella very narrow. Discussion:-Similar to C. mercator but has a more mucronate spire, tip set off from spire, pattern with colorless band below shoulder, and absence of spire pattern; C. cloveri is very close to certain forms of C. mercator, but can be distinguished by its relatively less wide shoulder, its more regular and not mucronate spire, the straighter sides not narrowing at the base as in mercator. Moreover, the web of crossing creamy lines is always in the axial sense, while in C. mercator it is in the spiral direction. ---------- Conus clytospira Melvill & Standen, 1899 Pictures: Picture Link: Lectotype in NHMUK Mike Filmer Picture Link: Paul Kersten Published in: Ann.

Living Animal: David Massemin New Caledonia Published in: Rev. Mag. Zool. 2, p. 117, pl. 2, f. 1 Ocean geography: Indo-Pacific Type Locality: New Caledonia Type Data: Holotype in IRSN deposited and catalogued Type Size: 116 x 57 mm Nomenclature: An available name Taxonomy: A valid species Current Group Names:- Family:-CONIDAE SubFamily:-PUNCTICULIINAE Genus:-Virgiconus Species:-coelinae Synonyms:- spiceri Bartsch & Rehder, 1943; pseudocoelinae Delsaerdt, 1989 Geographic Range:-Hawaii - New Caledonia; Philippines Habitat:-Intertidal to about 55 m. C. c. coelinae on sand bottoms to about 35 m Description:-Source Living Conidae Moderately large to large, solid to heavy. Last whorl conical; outline straight, except convex below shoulder. Shoulder angulate to sharply angulate. Spire usually low, outline slightly sigmoid. Teleoconch sutural ramps flat to sigmoid, with numerous often faint spiral striae in later whorls. Entire last whorl with rather closely spaced spiral threads, usually more prominent basally. Colour white, variably suffused with yellow. Last whorl ccasionally with a paler spiral band at centre. Base violet or occasionally white in C. c. coelinae , lemon yellow in C. c. spiceri. Larval whorls white. Aperture white. Discussion:-C. coelinae is similar to C. virgo, C. berdulinus and C. kintoki. C. virgo can be distinguished by the blue violet basal parts of its shell, purplish larval whorls, and its coarser spiral sculpture on the sutural ramps. C. berdulinus has a less angulate shoulder, smoother last whorl with violet, cream or orange shades, and a thin periostracum. The two subspecies we characterize are geographiclly widely separated, yet their shells differ only in that C. c. spiceri attains larger maximum size and its base is lemmon yellow, in contrast to the violet base of C. c. coelinae. RKK do not agree with Delsaerdt's (1989) statement that the holotype of C. coelinae represents a specimen of C. c. spiceri from Hawaii, because its base is white instead of lemon yellow. Specimens of C. c. coelinae with such uncoloured bases are known to occur in New Caledonia.
