Conus ixion angulifera (1)
Pl. II Fig. 21
coll. Neuville
Peloua at Saucats and Baour, at Mérignac (France)
-------------------------
Peyrot considers this young specimen as a deformed form
of Conus ixion


Lithoconus cf. anguliferus (Peyrot, 1930)
Fig. 79 (2)
mm. 28
Badenian (Middle Miocene)
Letkés (N Hungary)
-------------------------
Spire low, outline concave. Subapical sutural ramps convex, biconcave, striate on the last two whorls. Shoulder carinate. Body whorl conical, outline sigmoid, fully ornamented with
dense, fine, spiral ridges. Aperture narrow. Subsutural flexure biconcave (2).
Remarks – The Letkés specimen resembles the type in overall morphology, but it moderately differs in lower spire, in sharper shoulder, and in outline of the body whorl. Because of the poor preservation state of the shell we use open nomenclature (2).
Conus tessulatus
