Description of colour pattern
The colour pattern on the last whorl consists of evenly spaced spiral rows of continuous lines. Between the spirals, very thin, wavy, mostly discontinuous spiral lines exist. The spiral rows, of continuous lines on spiral grooves, are just above every spiral groove. On the spire whorls, the spiral lines start near the shoulder of the shell, while the spiral line near the suture is partly covered by the growing shell. The lines are not always of the same width and vary from clear lines with specific boundaries to wavy, blurry lines.
Remarks
Harzhauser & Landau (2016) described the morphological variation of Conus fuscocingulatus and briefly characterised its colour patterns. We consider that our material belongs to this species and expand the colour pattern description. Our specimens show a diversity at the angulation ( Fig. 39A, E View Fig ) and width ( Fig. 39D, F View Fig ) of the shoulder, as well as at the height of the spire ( Fig. 39B, G View Fig ) ( Table 17 View Table 17 ). Nevertheless, other characteristics such as the dense spiral cords and grooves on the anterior part of the last whorl, the shallow subsutural flexure ( Fig. 40N View Fig ), and the very clear colour pattern are indicative of the conspecificity of the specimens. Usually, the spire whorls of the specimens are eroded and only few beads and indistinct swellings are visible. From those characteristics, we could place this species in Conus (Stephanoconus) Mörch, 1852 , but the colour pattern variation is clearly different from the patterns seen in extant Conus (Stephanoconus) . We also disagree with the placement of this species in Conus (Phasmoconus) , as this subgenus engulfs many species with radically different morphological and colour pattern variations (e.g., see Monnier et al. 2018). An extant species from Papua-New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, attributed to Conus (Phasmoconus) aff. mucronatus Reeve, 1843 by Monnier et al. (2018) displays a rather similar colour pattern, but differs from Conus fuscocingulatus Hörnes, 1851 by flammulae on its spire whorls, many discontinuous spiral rows and an angulate shoulder.
