Subgenus Conus (Monteiroconus) da Motta, 1991
TYPE SPECIES. — Conus ambiguus Reeve, 1844 by original designation. Recent, West Africa.
REMARKS
Tortonian species of Conus (Monteiroconus) from Crete ( Greece) were recently discussed by Psarras et al. (2023). Members of this subgenus do not occur in the Mediterranean today, but it seems that they were present at least during the Pleistocene ( Juárez & Matamales-Andreu 2016), as specimens identified as Conus (Monteiroconus) tabidus Reeve, 1844 were recovered from Tyrrhenian deposits (MIS 5e, 128-116 ka) from Mallorca. Furthermore, the discovery of another species ( Conus (Monteiroconus) tsampikaensis n. sp.) confirms that species of Conus (Monteiroconus) were present in the Mediterranean during warm Pleistocene interglacial periods.
