COTTON—CATALOGUE OF CONE SHELLS 265 
Loc. Yorke Peninsula, Edithburgh, Levens Beach (type loc.). Port Lin- 
eoln, South Australia. 
Remarks, This is one of the more distinctive species of the Southern Austra- 
lian Floraconus types and is distinguished by the wide pyriform shell, which is 
thin, short spired, brightly coloured. As this paper was going to the press B. J. 
Weeding brought in a series from Daly Head which prove the species to be separable 
from anemone in all stages of development. Holotype D. 14198, S.A. Mus. Named 
after Saunders, a well-known South Australian shell collector. 
FLORACONUS COMPRESSUS (Sowerby ). 
Conus compressus Sowerby, 1866, p. 325, pl. 25 (286), fig. 602, 608. Hab.? 
Loc. Troubridge Island. Wallaroo. Encounter Bay, 22 fathoms, alive. 
Remarks. Sowerby’s name and figure probably apply to the tall spired, thick 
shelled compressed Floraconus type so well known to South Austraian coi- 
lectors. Sowerby, in his original description, compared it with this series re- 
marking, ‘‘This shell has some resemblance to C. anemone, but it is more solid in 
texture and the whorls are much more compressed, i.e., a greater number contained 
within a given cireumference,’’ The spire may be as long as the body whorl. 
FLORACONUS REMO (Brazier). 
Conus remo Brazier, p. 271. San Remo, Victoria. 
Loc. San Remo. Port Philip, Port Macdonnell. 
Remarks. From the long and consistent series of cotypes from the Kenyon 
Collection I have selected a specimen agreeing in all respects with the type. The 
species is like singletoni in general size and shape but is much thicker, elegantly 
splashed with bright orange, strongly spirally lirate throughout. All cotypes are 
similar in all respects. This may be a subspecies of anemone like others here sepa- 
rated but there is a definite difference from the typical anemone. 
Genus Parviconus Cotton and Godfrey, 1932. 
Parviconus Cotton and Godfrey, 1982, p. 68. 
Genotype: Conus rutilus Menke, 1843. North-West Australia. 
Remarks. Shell thin, small, somewhat inflated, slightly coronated, surface 
covered by close nearly obsolete revolving striae; rather sharp shoulder angle. 
Protoconch paucispiral, mamillate, smooth; there is an obliquely projecting sharp 
apex on its first whorl, which then acquires axial ribs from suture to suture, which 
become tubercles on the spire whorls through fading out of the upper part of 
the axial costae. The radulae teeth are short and probably of the type seen in 
tessulatus Born, coronatus Bruguiére, ete. 
Parviconus rutiuus (Menke). 
Conus rutilus Menke, 1843, sp. 27. In litore septentr.-occidentali. 
Conus tasmanicus Tenison Woods, 1876, Proce. Roy. Soe. Tas., p. 139. Tasmania. 
Conus macleayana Tenison Woods, 1877, Proce. Roy. Soc. Tas., p. 184. New name 
for tasmanicaus Tenison Woods, 1876, not Sowerby, 1866 (tasmaniae). 
Loc. South Australia alive down to 15 fathoms, Levens, Largs Bay, Corny 
Point, Aldinga, St. Francis Island, Yatala Shoal, 10 fathoms, Beachport 40 
fathoms, 110 fathoms, St. Francis Island 20 fathoms, Cape Borda 55 fathoms, Back- 
stairs Passage 20 fathoms, Neptunes 45 fathoms. Western Australia, Ellen-
