If that is still the record size (94.5mm), then it came from Colombia - we got it in 2007

The largest spurius atlanticus we got came from Yucatan, collected in 1967, and was 84.1mm - we never got anything even close to WRS
105.5mm

This is the WRS for phlogopus 86.5mm - Colombia

It may be that M. Quiquandon considers C. spurius distinct from C. spurius atlanticus in the context of his list

Alan,
This record has obviously been thrown out by Mr. Quiquandon as he just responded with the following:
94,5 mm is the actual WRS for C.spurius
It is late now in France
Tired for this week , I go in my bed
Best regards

When I wrote 'Conus of the Southeastern United States and Caribbean,' I gave 105 mm as the maximum reported size (p. 346) based on
the 6th edition of 'Registry of World Record Size Shells" by Barbier, Quiquandon and Santini (2009) (see also p. 37). Their record
was listed for C. spurius atlanticus from Florida. If any one has information on a larger one, I could mention it in an electronic
supplement. The longest shell I encountered in my study was 97 mm, from off Egmont Key, Florida Gulf Coast, in the American Museum
of Natural History, and illustrated on Plate 97, fig. 12 .

I suspect that a review of the actual WRS data sites will show larger
than that.
