Conus
(Lithoconus) jonesorum (Petuch, 1994)
L’holotipo
del Conus jonesorum mostra la caratteristica colorazione del Conus
yaquensis ed è coincidente in tutte la caratteristiche della conchiglia.
Petuch osservò come i Conus cherokus più antichi, negli strati
inferiori, siano molto simili al Conus jonesorum (1).
The
holotype of C. jonesorum Petuch, 1994 (UF 66430, Pl. 15, Figs 4-5),
bears the characteristic netted coloration pattern of C. yaquensis and
is consistent in all other aspects of shell form as well. Petuch (1994: 355),
however, stated that “Conus jonesorum is most similar to the older,
stratigraphically-lower C. cherokus” (here considered a junior synonym
of C. spurius), but made no reference to C. yaquensis (1).
