Conus miovoeslauensis

Conus (Chelyconus) miovoeslauensis (Sacco, 1893 )

Descrizione e caratteristiche: Sacco definì il Conus tauroventricosus var. miovoeslauensis basandosi sulla figura del Conus ventricosus riportata da Hoernes & Auinger (1879) nella Tav. 6 Fig. 6.

Medium-sized shells, spire coeloconoid, low to medium in height; very variable in height; spire whorls channelled, weakly striate to striate; more or less deep groove in mid-whorl. Subsutural flexure of medium depth, moderately curved, strongly asymmetrical; last whorl elongate and fig-shaped, rarely strongly ventricose. Shoulder high, rounded, sides convex, position of maximum diameter about of the way below the shoulder; very weakly constricted at base; bearing weak spiral grooves on the abapical third; aperture straight, widening and slightly flared abapically; siphonal canal short; siphonal fasciole weakly developed; colour pattern seen under UV light consisting of spirally arranged small irregular dashes, partly underlain by very thin spirals. Broad, wide-spaced flammulae on shoulder and last spire whorl ⁽²⁾.

Conus ventricosus Hoernes & Auinger (1879) Pl. VI fig. 6	Conus miovoeslauensis ⁽¹⁾ Mi sembra abbastanza evidente che questi esemplari, dal profilo decisamente ovale, siano ben diversi dal Conus miovoeslauensis: in realtà si tratta di esemplari di Conus pestensis⁽²⁾
