Genus Reetconus Iredale. 
Regiconus Tredale, 1980, p. 79. 
Genotype: Conus auratus Bruguiere, 1792. Indian Ocean. 
Remarks, This genus includes the large narrow shells with elevated spire and 
large subtrianeular white spots. This genus seems very closely allied to Dari- 
oconus judging from the genotypes, 
Reeiconus AuratTus (Bruguiére). 
Conus auratus Bruguiére, 1792, p. 740. Indian Ocean. 
Loc. Philippines. ‘‘ Indo-Pacific. ’’ 
Remarks. According to our specimens the only distinguishing features from 
aulica are the narrower, more cylindrical shape and finer colour pattern of auratus. 
The two species seem closely allied. The genotype species is represented in our 
collection by only one specimen from the Philippines which could be regarded as 
typical of the figure given by Reeve, 1848, pl. 25, fie. 141a, 
Reerconus aunious (Linné).
