Conus
lizardensis (Crosse, 1895)
Description: Moderately
small to medium-sized, moderately solid. Last whorl conical to
ventricosely conical or conoid-cylindrical, outline slightly convex
at adapical third and straight below. Shoulder usually sharply
angulate. Spire of low to moderate height, outline concave. Larval
shell of about 2 whorls, maximum diameter 0.8-0.9 mm. First 0.75-3
postnuclear whorls weakly tuberculate; specimens of about 45 mm with
about 10 postnuclear whorls. Teleoconch sutural ramps flat, sometimes
concave in late whorls, with 1 increasing to 4-6 spiral grooves. Last
whorl with variably broad spiral ribbons extending from base to
shoulder, sometimes replaced by ribs near base and just below
shoulder; intervening grooves axially striate, wider at base and
often containing a fine spiral rib; large specimens almost smooth on
adapical third to half.

[Sodium hypochlorite bath: the highlighted color pattern
minimizes the possibility that this specimen could be associated
with Conus
aculeiformis. While
the morphology and sculpture would seem to indicate a connection
with Conus lizardensis,
even if the latter has a decidedly convex profile of the last
whorl, the color pattern would seem to bring this specimen
closer to Conus
aratispira or Conus
kawamurai]
