F+++. ONE OF THE RAREST FORMS IN EPISCOPATUS. Because we know of only one other shell with a pattern that approaches this specimen, although not so excellent: the figure by Monnier & al. (2018) vol. 2 nr. 2 of page 977. Collected in the Inabanga region of northwestern Bohol. This shell is a particularly large specimen, with a stunning 92.6 mm. The pattern is breathtaking, with the classic 3 bands of tents, but in this case with 4 nice dark dorsal flecks without pattern. A quite unique and a most intriguing Conus. Beautiful on both the ventral and dorsal side. Larger than average. Very rare in this condition.
Philippines. Bohol. Inabanga. 10-25 m.
