Geographical distribution and bathymetry

Japan to the Philippines. In New Caledonia: Norfolk Ridge and Loyalty Ridge, 100 to 500 m, but most often at depths between 200 and 300 m.

Remarks

Shell medium-sized to moderately large (maximum shell length 66 mm). Conical to ventricosely conical, with a low to moderate spire of deeply concave to sigmoid profile. Protoconch multispiral ( Fig. 55L View Fig ), of more than 3 whorls. Last whorl with a characteristic pattern of narrow wavy brown axial lines. Radular tooth ( Fig. 55N View Fig ) with the anterior section shorter than the posterior section. The tooth is serrated with 18–11 denticles arranged in one single row. Barely perceptible elongated terminating cusp. Barb well marked. Blade rounded, covering about 40–50% of the anterior section of the tooth. Basal spur pointing upwards on top of an axially elongated base. The specimens sequenced form a clade sister to Conus (Phasmoconus) richeri Richard & Moolenbeek, 1988 ( Fig. 2 View Fig ).
