Conus cabraloi Cossignani, 2014 Pictures

Discussion:-. The synonymy of C. schepmani with C. comatosa remains uncertain (Coomans et al., 1986). The type specimens of C. schepmani are subadult; this growth stage may be responsible for a relatively higher spire (RSH 0.28) and heavier spiral sculpture of the last whorl in comparison with adult specimens of typical C. comatosa. The similarities in shape, colour pattern and sculpture of both last whorl and spire provisionally favour synonymy.

Description:-Source original description
Shell of medium size, ranging from 37.4 mm to 56.8 mm. Shape of the last whorl conical, constant in PMD (average 0.958) and RD (average 0.625). Spire low, with strongly tuberculated shoulder. Average RSH is 0.118. Number of tubercles on the last whorl varies from 10 to 11. Protoconch eroded in all studied specimens and number of its whorls unknown; deep pink in color from observation of the best preserved ones. Adult shell with 11 - 12 teleoconch whorls. Spire outline straight with pointed apex. Sutural ramp shows up to six irregular shallow spiral striae. Last whorl profile very slightly convex in the upper part of the last whorl and straight below.

Aperture slightly widening abapically. Holotype shell smooth on the adapical half of the last whorl and sculptured by narrow widely separated cords on the abapical part. In some specimens shell almost completely smooth, in others cords may be granulose. Shell color barely variable. Spire lavender to purple. First teleoconch whorls may have brown dots between the tubercles. Last whorl with lavender to mauve ground color overlaid with a plain beige coat missing in a wide, diffuse, mid-body and at periphery. Anterior extremity darker than the rest of the body whorl. Aperture deep violet or blue becoming lighter towards the interior and with a paler band in the middle.

Discussion:- C. conco is quite homogeneous with an average size of 48 mm, a minimum of 37.4 mm and a maximum of 56.8 mm (one specimen illustrated by Röckel et al. (1995). Conus lividus differs from C. conco by its colour. The former is olive or yellowish brown; the spire and shoulder are completely white. No shell of C. lividus shows lavender to purple background color. Conus sanguinolentus, which is sympatric with the new species in the Marquesas, has brown spots between the spire tubercles but it never has a lavender to purple background color; pustules are more frequently present on the abapical cords.

Description:-Source: Original description Xenophora Taxonomy
Shell is small to moderately small. Shell is solid, ventricosely to broadly ventricosely conical with a rounded shoulder and a low spire. Spire profile

straight to sigmoid when well-preserved. Sutural ramps are convex, with 3 – 4 spiral cords becoming obsolete in later whorls, often badly eroded. The shell is honey brown colored with fine, equally spaced darker brown spiral lines that occupy the entire body whorl. Most specimens present a thin faded white-dotted band on the lower portion of the body whorl. The spire is darker brown, occasionally speckled with tiny white dots. The aperture is white with a shade of violet on the upper portion. The periostracum is thin, light brown in colour. The operculum is small.

Shells of A. condei sp. nov. are subject to spire and dorsal erosion, correction scars and calcareous algae incrustations. This is a relatively rare and seldom seen species.

Description:-Source Living Conidae
Medium-sized to large, moderately solid to heavy. Last whorl narrowly conical or narrowly conoid-cylindrical to ventricosely conical; outline convex adapically, straight below and sometimes slightly concave at centre. Siphonal fasciole varies from weak to prominent. Shoulder sharply angulate to almost rounded. Spire of low to moderate height, outline straight to slightly convex. Larval shell of about 3 whorls, maximum diameter about 0.8 mm. Adults of 50-90 mm with about 9-11 postnuclear whorls, the first 4-8 tuberculate. Teleoconch sutural ramps flat to concave, with 2 increasing to 5-8 spiral grooves; occasionally latest ramps with 10-12 variably fine spiral grooves. Last whorl with spiral grooves at base, separating broad ribbons or strong ribs.
Ground colour white to pale brown; in subadult specimens of form poehlianus, white ground suffused with pale brownish violet. Last whorl with 1-2 spiral bands above and 1 band below centre; band nearest shoulder often interrupted or absent, or both adapical bands may fuse. Colour of bands ranges from yellowish brown to violet or dark brown. Dotted, dashed or solid brown spiral lines from base to shoulder, varying in number and arrangement.

C. anceps has yellowish to orange brown banding faint axial blotching;
C. daullei conoid cylindrical to conical with higher spires and dark brown pattern; W Indian Ocean
Discussion:-The nominal species C. consors, C. anceps, C. daullei, C. poehlianus, and C. turschi refer to forms of the same species with overlapping ranges. The typical form is strictly conical and has the broadest last whorl amongst all forms. Form anceps and form poehlianus are narrowly to ventricosely conical, not distinguishable from each other by shell shape, and differ only in the colour pattern (shades of spiral banding yellowish to orangish brown in form anceps vs. light brown to pale violet-brown or almost white in form poehlianus). Subadults of form poehlianus from the Solomon Is., Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu with 2-3 spiral rows of brown clouds and numerous spiral rows of alternating brown and white dots. During growth, the clouded pattern changes to a banded pattern of lighter colour and the dotted spiral lines usually disappear. Form anceps occurs broadly in the Western Pacific, form poehlianus in the Solomon Is., Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea and Philippines. Form turschi is based on a ventricosely conical variant with a distinctive colour pattern; it ranges from W. Thailand to the Solomon Is., Vanuatu and Queensland. Form daullei refers to shells from the western Indian Ocean, which are narrowly conoid-cylindrical to conical, have the highest spires among all forms of C. consors (RSH 0.13- 0.20 vs. 0.08-0.16 in other forms), and a dark brown pattern; this form intergrades in shape and pattern with the typical form in the Western Indian Ocean and with form turschi in W. Thailand. In the Solomon Is., form turschi lives syntopically and intergrades with the forms anceps and poehlianus. In Philippines, the typical form, form anceps, form turschi and form poehlianus all intergrade.
