Hab. Darnley Island, Torres Straits, found on the reefs under 

 coral. This species differs from Conus flavidus, Lam., by being flat 

 spired ; aperture narrow, contracted in the centre like C. emaciatus 

 (Reeve) ; edge of the lip bright orange, interior with large deep 

 purple spots; epidermis thicker and rougher than specimens of 

 C. flavidus. Mr. A. Adams described in the Proc. Zool. Soc, 

 London, 1853, another species under the same name; I have 

 therefore changed the specific name as above.
