Conus williamgabbi (Maury, 1917)

Shell large, solid, conic; whorls twelve, the first two nuclear, the following five forming the acute apex of the spire, remaining volutions of the spire very flat, each ornamented with four or more revolving spiral threads and with feebler growth-striae. Body whorl roundly carinated at the shoulder; upper portion smooth except for almost obsolete revolving striations, lower third ornamented with rather irregular, wavy spirals. Columella slightly plicate.

Length 65, width 45 mm.

This fine Cone was among a number of specimens of C. haytensis sent by Professor Gabb, but its extremely flat spire and difference of form show it to be distinct. It was collected by Professor Gabb in Santo Domingo and is named in his honor ⁽¹⁾.
