Conus abrolhosensis  Petuch, 1987

Common Name

"Abrolhos Islands Cone"

Status

The validity and specific assignment are disputed. Petuch: a high spired member of the cardinalis complex; Filmer: a synonym (juvenile) of C. brasiliensis Clench, 1942; which may be a subspecies of C. archetypus Crosse, 1865; Renata Gomes (2004): a synonym (form) of C. archetypus Crosse 1865; according to J. Tucker (Pers. Comm. [Kersten]) this is almost certainly a form of C. ziczac Mühlfeld, 1816; description based on a juvenile specimen of the latter; Renata Gomez shares this opinion.
