Conus arntzenii (Martin, 1916)

 

 

Remarks: The species is placed in genus Fusiconus by Tucker & Tenorio (2009). The shell contains a single spiral groove dissecting the whorls before the body whorl which is characteristic for that genus (Tucker & Tenokio 2009). Fusiconus arntzenii is lacking a distinct scalariform outline of the spire that also appears characetristic for the genus. We are uncertain about the base for the assignment by Tucker & Tenorio (2009) of F. arntzenii as another conid species described by Martin does confirm the generic characteristics of Fusiconus (Tucker & Tenorio 2009: p. 85–86). We can not rule out that the authors mixed up the two species (3).
