unknown Conus 1 - wolfi - 07-26-2016

Hi all,

here's a Conus, unfortunately without data (unknown origin). Hight 51,0 mm. I'm not at all fit in Conidae, so I need some help.

There are some variants of Conus floccatus f. magdalenae which seem to come close to my specimen, but I'm not at all sure. Might well be it's another species.

Thanks a lot for all kind of help, kind regards: wolf

Looks to me like Conus (Pionoconus) circumcisus. Range is the Western Pacific.

Hi Paul,
yes, it seems to fit well. Should be the obviously rather variable Conus circumcisus. Thanks a lot, you are very helpful.
Kind regards: wolf
