Conus bonaczyi
(Gabb, 1873)
Description
Shell small, convexly turbinated, sides curved,
tapering gradually in advance; posterior angle rounded, spire low, apex acute,
side of spire concave; surface marked by a variable number of revolving
grooves, which are distinctly interrupted by liones of growth ; the intervening
ribs are flat, or faintly sulcated and show no traces of the growth lines. Top
of the whorls very slightly concave, not striated.
Length .9 inch, with .5 inch.
This shell has almost exactly the sculpture of C.
planiliratus, the ribs being somewhat more. numerous. But unlike that
species it is a short, broad shell with curved sides. Its proportions of length
and width are not unlike those of C. mercator
