Geographical distribution
Boa Vista and Maio islands, Cabo Verde Archipelago. Also present in Santiago Island, where it is very scarce.
Conservation status in IUCN Red List
Least concern.
Remarks
This is the largest-sized cone snail endemic to the Cabo Verde Archipelago, where it is widely distributed in Boa Vista and Maio islands. There are occasional reports of its presence off Santiago Island as well ( Rolán 2005). Very variable in shell length and pattern, it has received a number of different names, which are all considered synonyms. Detailed populations genetic studies of the venulatus group ( Cunha et al. 2008) and more recent mitogenomic phylogenetic analyses ( Abalde et al. 2017a) indicate that despite the extreme phenotypic variability, all the populations scattered throughout the archipelago are members of one single species. This is also applicable to the recently introduced taxon K. josefiadeiroi , which is just a representative of the population of K. venulatus from Praia Canto, northeast coast of Boa Vista Island ( Fig. 9J) and is included in our phylogenetic study.
