Conus laterculatus
Conus laterculatus is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies. Like all species with the superfamily Conoidea, these snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans; therefore, live ones should be handled carefully or not at all. Description
The size of an adult shell varies between 33 mm and 64 mm. The shell is distantly channeled throughout, the interstices usually plane, sometimes minutely granular. The channels are narrow, longitudinally striated. The spire is much elevated, acuminated, striate, sometimes obscurely minutely coronated. The color of the shell is yellowish brown, with light chestnut longitudinal short irregular lines, and clouds of the same color forming three obscure interrupted bands. Distribution
This marine species is found off the Philippines, Borneo and Vietnam. References
