Re: 3 Juvenilce conus from Philippines
Hi there,
Your shell seems really a juvenile specie, as i looked at it, here's what i think, First, the features is like a juvenile Vitoliconus striatellus (no stain on the aperture).But im not sure. Second, the encircled rows of brown and white dashes seen on your shell is a character of Pionoconus achatinus. Third, a juvenile Pionoconus magus. Well this is just my finding, i might be wrong but this is what the best i can figure on your photos. Cheers, Diocris. |

The first one seems not a juvenile in my opinion. I believe it is the rivularius form of Conus boeticus. The second one is a difficult shell to ID. We could deal with Conus striolatus f. decurtata. The third one is Conus magus or maybe Conus consors.
Regards, Paul |
