Conus bandanus - SPECIAL COLOR , Hwass in Bruguière, 1792
Size
88.3 mm
Locality
Philippines
Note
F+++. A rarity among Conus, subject to gossip: this shell has the pattern of bandanus, but the hallmark of nicobaricus: the yellow or orange inside. The shape of a marmoreus. Any expert will love this. The FOURTH specimen as such that we can offer and it looks more and more like it is an undescribed new species or subspecies.
Philippines. Zamboanga. 10-35 m. 2011.
