Conus collisus, common name the stigmatic cone, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies. [3]

Like all species within the genus Conus, these snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all.

Description

The size of an adult shell varies between 30 mm and 60 mm. The thin shell is cylindrically turbinated, and somewhat inflated. The lower part of the body whorl shows distant revolving grooves. The ground color of the shell is white, variously painted with chestnut longitudinal irregular streaks, usually forming three broad series or bands. It closely resembles Conus spectrum . [4]

Distribution

This species occurs in the Gulf of Bengal along South India; the Andaman Sea, Malaysia; the South China Sea, the Pacific Ocean off Indonesia and the Philippines.
