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.

Distribution

This is an Indo-Pacific species, occurring in Melanesia and off New Caledonia.

Shell description

The size of the shell varies between 24 mm and 63 mm . The spire is raised, carinated and slightly striate. The body whorl is distantly grooved below. The color of the shell is yellowish brown, variously longitudinally covered with zigzag chestnut or chocolate markings; sometimes almost or quite covered with chocolate. [2]

Etymology

The specific name honours the French-Mauritian naturalist François Liénard de la Mivoye. [3]
