Andrew,
Where did you find your records Conus alteralbus?

I find it interesting that none of these references even list Conus
alteralbus:
I looked through a dozen other general works and did not find it either.

Walls, Jerry G. 1979
Cone Shells: A Synopsis of the Living Conidae, TFH, 1020 pp

Marsh, J. A & O. H. Rippingale 1968
Cone Shells of the World, Jacarenda Press, 3rd Ed, 185 pp, 24 cpl

Burnay, Luis P. & Antonio A. Monteiro 1977
Seashells From Cape Verde Islands (1), Lisboa, 88 pp, 66 fig


I believe there is a small a book on Cape Verde Cones.
If so I had it once but gave it away.

Leslie

Hello to all,
Can anyone provide me information about a cone shell I recently received -
it
is labeled Conus alteralbus Kiener 1849 and was collected in the Cape Verde
Islands.  It is a very pretty cone, 33mm in size, with 4 broken white bands
over a very dark black background.  Is this a subspecies of another cone?  I
have never come across this name before.  Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.
