Conus View in CoL sensu lato 3

Note. The third group is represented only by Conus mucronatolaevis (Sacco, 1893) , which is outstanding due to its mammillate spire, clearly differing from the other two species-groups. This species is morphologically very close to several species treated as Varioconus by Tucker & Tenorio (2009, 2013) [ Varioconus is considered a junior synonym of Lautoconus by Puillandre et al. (2014a, b)]. Especially, Lautoconus micropunctatus ( Rolán & Röckel, 2000) is highly reminiscent of C. mucronatolaevis in its outline and colour pattern. Nevertheless, the presence of tuberculate early spire whorls excludes a placement in Lautoconus .
