Discussion:-Da Motta (1981) considered C. carcellesi a full species, and drew attention to a number of morphological differences: the shell is smaller, 30 to 45 mm, and wider, with a more convex body whorl and a relatively higher spire, which is rather straight and often stepped. These differences can be found in main population. Tucker comments:- samples that I examined are that the spire of L. l. lemniscatus is not as elevated as the spire of L. l. carcellesi. Without belaboring the details, I found that these differences are statistically significant in the sample I have at hand. Consequently, I agree with Vink in recognizing L. l. carcellesi as a subspecies of L. lemniscatus. ---------- Conus cardinalis Hwass in Bruguiere, 1792 Pictures: Picture Link: Representation of Lectotype Martini (1773: pl. 61, fig. 680) Picture Link: Possible Holotype MNHG Mike Filmer Picture Link: Paul Kersten Radula Picture: Manuel Tenorio

Shoulder of the body whorl smooth with a sharp angle. Body whorl elongated, straight to slightly convex with 8-9 incised lines on the base on adult specimens. Juvenile specimens have entire body covered by incised lines. Apex pink or pink-orange, nucleus 2 to 2.5 whorls, smooth. Spire with 5 up 7 whorls, with two or three (light) weak spiral ridges, white and brown dots. Color body extremely variable, from completely black, to dark brown with lines, grey and green, red- brown, etc. The black or black and white specimens are colorful when juveniles. Deep purple aperture with shell color margin. Discussion:-The most variable shell from the Abrolhos Archipelago, it is probably related to the Conus archetypus Crosse complex of species. As most of the other related species, has an ornamented top and an extremely variation of patterns and colors. The new species could be confused with the very similar C. beddomei and C. brasilensis, but C. cargilei is more elongated and has straighter sides than C. beddomei and C. brasiliensis, or even any other species from the complex. The shape and proportions of the shell are very characteristic, and there are not found intermediates between C. cargilei and any other species that belong to the same complex. ---------- Conus caribbaeus Clench, 1942 Pictures: Picture Link: Holotype in MCZ Mike Filmer Published in: Johnsonia 1, p. 23, pl. 11, f. 4 & 5 Ocean geography: West Atlantic and Caribbean Type Locality: Off Palm Beach Co., Florida Type Data: Holotype in MCZ deposited and catalogued Type Size: 31 x15 mm Nomenclature: An available name Taxonomy: Synonym colour form of Conus flavescens Sowerby ii, 1834 Current Group Names:- Family:-CONIDAE SubFamily:-PUNCTICULIINAE Genus:-Gradiconus Species:-flavescens caribbaeus forma Synonyms:- There are no junior synonyms Geographic Range:-Florida, Bahamas Habitat:-No Data Description:-Source Vink A slender shell, rarely exceeding 25 mm. in length, although specimens of more than 30 mm. exist. Sides of the body whorl slightly convex with a rather broad base, spire moderate and rather straight-sided with mamillate protoconch. Shoulder angulate, body whorl smooth except for 10 to 12 incised lines near the base. Tops of whorls without distinct spiral threads. Nucleus: 2 whorls; early whorls with rough sutures that sometimes may appear nodulous. Operculum longish and small, about 1/6 of aperture height, periostracum thin and yellowish. Colour pattern rather variable with most patterns found in any population. Specimens from the Bahamas are lighter in colour. Typical C. flavescens is pale brownish yellow or reddish brown with irregular white spots mostly around mid-body and around the base of the spire, but sometimes also covering the whole body whorl. The spots are irregular, and in the words of Reeve have 'the appearance of spaces casually left in the deposit of the pale yellow colour'. The white spots around mid-body may also form a complete band and some shells are completely uniform white, yellowish or pinkish. There are also specimens with spiral rows of dark brown dashes on a background which can be uniform white or white with axial brown maculations. C. caribbaeus is considered an albino colour form.

Vol. 1, p. 707 Ocean geography:Indo-Pacific Type Locality: Santo Domingo Isle, Martinique, (erroneous) and Ile de France, (Mauritius), restricted (Kohn) to Mauritius. Type Data: Lectotype in MHNG deposited and catalogued Type Size: 40 x 23 mm Nomenclature: An available name Taxonomy: A valid species Current Group Names:- Family:-CONIDAE SubFamily:-CONINAE Genus:-Pionoconus Species:-catus Synonyms:- nubilus Röding, 1798; discrepans Sowerby ii, 1833; purus Pease, 1863; reflectus Sowerby iii, 1877; granulosa Barros E. Cunha, 1933; rubrapapillosa Dautzenberg, 1937; fuscoolivaceus Dautzenberg, 1937 Geographic Range:-Entire Indo-Pacific Habitat:-Intertidal to about 20 m; in protected and exposed sites on benches, rocky shores and subtidal coral reef flats, occupying crevices, pockets or patches of sand with or without vegetation, bare limestone, algal turf and coral rubble. Description:-Source Living Conidae Moderately small to medium-sized, moderately solid to solid; relative weight of similarly sized specimens may vary by 40%. Last whorl usually ventricosely conical to broadly and ventricosely conical; outline variably convex adapically and mostly straight below; left side occasionally sigmoid. Shoulder angulate to rounded. Spire of low to moderate height, outline slightly concave to slightly convex. Larval shell multispiral, maximum diameter 0.6-0.7 mm. First 2-3 postnuclear whorls tuberculate. Teleoconch sutural ramps flat to slightly concave, with 1 increasing to 4-8 spiral grooves; latest ramps with additional subsutural spiral striae. Last whorl variable in spiral sculpture. Shells with well separated, weak spiral ribs on basal third vary continuously with shells having strong, variably broad ribs or ribbons, usually minutely to strongly granulose and often with 1-2 fine smooth ribs in between, from base to shoulder. Form nigropunctatus with a slightly less solid shell. Last whorl entricosely conical or conoidcylindrical. Spire outline either straight or slightly convex. First 3-5 postnuclear whorls tuberculate. Late sutural ramps with 5-6 spiral grooves. Last whorl consistently with a few well separate spiral ribs near base. Ground colour white to bluish grey. Pattern of last whorl variable in colour, arrangement and extent. Colour ranges from yellowish brown to olive-brown, blackish brown and orange or red. Shells with sparse small flecks on each side of centre intergrade with solidly dark shells except for a narrow spiral ground-colour band at centre. Surface pattern emphasized by bluish grey or brownish violet background clouds. Spiral rows of brown dots and dashes extend from base to shoulder, either containing intermittent white markings or fusing into solid dark lines. Rows variably spaced and ranging from complete absence to dominant pattern element. Larval whorls usually red, less frequently white to brown. Teleoconch sutural ramps with radial streaks or confluent blotches that match pattern elements of last whorl in colour. Aperture white or cream. Shell Morphometry L 25-52 mm RW 0.15-0.50 g/mm RD 0.62-0.78 PMD 0.78-0.87 RSH 0.10-0.19 Discussion:-C. catus is allied to C. achatinus, C. monachus and C. striolatus. C. achatinus attains larger size, has a less solid shell and more tuberculate postnuclear whorls. It has usually a narrower last whorl (RD 0.54-0.69) and its periostracum has tufted spiral ridges and fringed shoulders. C. striolatus tends to have a more ovate last whorl (PMD 0.7 1-0.80) than C. catus and lacks tuberculate early postnuclear whorls. Both C. achatinus and C. striolatus can also be distinguished from C. catus by their animals having a large saddle-shaped black blotch on the anterior dorsum of the foot. C. monachus has a less solid shell, attains larger size but has a relatively narrower last whorl, and usually has a more angulate shoulder as well as weaker spiral sculpture on the late sutural ramps. Moreover, it is set apart by its nebulose pattern and its darker larval shell. Conus catus f. fuscoolivaceus Dautzenberg, 1937 Yüklə 374,1 Kb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
