Dear Conchlers,

in the search programm of Alta Vista I entered the name of
Conus+guanche and this brought me up to the homepage
of Vita Marina and of new species described in 1993.
So I found:

Conus guanche guanche Lauer, 1993 and
Conus guanche mitens Lauer, 1993

Canary Islands

reference: Apex, 8 (1-2): 37 - 50

hope this helps

with best cone regards

Helmut from Innsbruck

Kim,

Don't have "Apex," could you give us the author and date?  Thanks,
