Contents

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.

The size of the shell varies between 13 mm and 23 mm.

Distribution

This species occurs in the Atlantic Ocean off the Cape Verdes. It is known only from Boa Vista Island, Cape Verde, between 2 and 5 m depth. Its conservation status is least concern. [1]
