Hawaiian Conus — Kohn

istics by genetic drift. The circumstances of 
collection thus lend support to Dali’s con- 
clusion that the specimens represent a variant 
of C. ahhreviatus. However, the specimens 
agree quite completely on morphological 
grounds with typical C. miliaris, which is 
otherwise not known to occur in the Ha- 
waiian Islands. It is possible that the speci- 
mens under consideration may have hatched 
elsewhere and have been carried ashore on 
Hawaii by currents during the pelagic larval 
stage. In either event, the population has 
apparently not become established in Hawaii. 
The Museum National d’Histoire Natu- 
relle, Paris, contains two additional specimens 
labeled "Kauai (Sandwich) Remy 1857.” 
Conus parvus Pease 
Pease (1868) having discovered that C. 
fusiformis was preoccupied, renamed that spe- 
cies C. parvus. See under C. fusiformis. 
Conus Virgo Linne 
Although Garrett (1878) reported this 
species from the Hawaiian Islands, there is 
no specimen in the Garrett collection in the 
B. P. Bishop Museum, and no other records 
are known to the writer. Demond (1957) 
also lists this species from Hawaii. 
SUMMARY 
The gastropod genus Conus is represented 
by 33 species in the Hawaiian archipelago. 
This number comprises only species of which 
more than one individual has been collected 
alive in the area between Kure (Ocean) Island 
and the island of Hawaii. Synonymies, de- 
scriptions, type localities, and notes are given 
for each of these species. 
One possibly additional valid species, a 
unique record of one species, seven specie s 
known in Hawaii only from the collection o f 
dead specimens, and unverified and inaccu- 
rate records of nine species from the Hawaiian 
Islands, are cited.
