This
specimen is clearly related to Conus
strauszi (Kovacs
& Vician, 2023), of which it retains all the characteristics. As
in Conus
strauszi,
the coloration consists of broad and reddish flammulae on later
spire whorls and shoulder, and spirals of reddish, subrectangular
patches on the last whorl. Spire is low
and conical, slightly
convex and spire whorls
are
decorated with striae. Shoulder
is rounded, with maximum diameter slightly below the shoulder.
The
opening is moderately narrow, but widens anteriorly more widely than
in Conus
strauszi.
While
in Conus
strauszi
the last whorl is conical with a weak concavity in the middle, this
specimen has a broadly and ventricosely conical last whorl; based on
the single specimen shown, it is not possible to determine whether
it is a juvenile or an adult, and consequently it is not possible to
determine whether the profile of the last whorl is a characteristic
of the species or whether it is due to its young age, as the 25 mm
height might suggest. In this specimen, as in Conus
strauszi,
widely spaced spiral cords are present on the lower half.
