Geographic Range:-Maio, Cape Verde Islands

Description:-Source original description
Morphology of the seashell. The maximum dimension is from 17 to 24 mm. Its silhouette is not very slender and has a body whorl smallish, shoulder somewhat angled and spire partially extended, not stepped, striated and of white color with brown spots. The coloring of the seashell has a white ground with tones of azure that appears covered with yellowish or light brown lines , rarely obscure; with magnification, it is appreciated that the lines are very adjacent, are somewhat irregular and are interrupted by white areas; these areas dominate in three zones: in a band on lower half of the last whorl, on the shoulder and in another narrower band between both but that is not constant. Specimens exist in which the pattern forms so that the brown and white areas adopt an rectilineate aspect quite uniform with tendency to create bands of different intensities of color. Variability is quite large in the quantity of white, in the disposition of the areas and in the tones of the color. Aperture is dark in its interior with two clear lines. The lip is clear. The columella is white from time to time and violet .
Discussion:-The subspecies has a structure of the seashell (form of the spire, form of the shoulder and color of the aperture) that seems similar to C. damottai damottai Trovao, 1979; nevertheless, this subspecies, has a color and very characteristic pattern and constant: white areas in form of zig-zag that alternate with brown areas in which there are spiral lines while C. damottai galeao has variable coloring and totally irregular pattern but always with lines in axial sense inside the dark zones. These opposite characteristics in populations that are found in geographical isolation, permit to consider that they possess a subspecific relationship. The egg capsules , radular tooth and larval seashells confirm this situation being similar in the main characteristics, but maintaining small differential details.

The aperture is wide with internal pattern of brown-reddish-purple, compartmentalized by three bands of creamy white. The shoulder is rounded and the profile of last whorl is slighlty convex at the top becoming almost straight in the distal part. The coloring of the last whorl reflects that of spire: tawny-yellowish-brown with two irregular bands with white marks on shoulder and below the middle and is darker in the vicinity of siphonal channel.. Some spiral grooves (6-7) are highlighted in the lower shell. The siphonal channel is large with its axis aligned with the development of the shell. Animal not availavle for study. you do not study the soft parts.

Geographic Range:-Honduras
Habitat:-Dredged from mud bottom in 40 to 70 m
Description:-Source Vink
A moderately heavy shell, 35 to 70 mm, with slightly concave rather high spire and slightly pyriform to straight sides of the body whorl. Shoulder angulate, often keeled, body whorl with spiral ridges which are vaguely granular and unevenly spaced. Space between the ridges with microscopic axial threads. Spire whorls stepped, tops of the whorls rather flat with very weak spiral threads crossed by somewhat stronger growth lines. Nucleus: 2 whorls (protoconch of specimens from Panama distinctly smaller than that of specimens from type locality -pers. comm. Röckel, 1987), axial sculpture on the sides of the first three to four postnuclear whorls. Colour is orange brown on a white background, the brown nearly entirely covering the shell and, in the words of da Motta 'as if painted in arching longitudinal brush strokes'. Below mid-body a white, slightly spotted belt. Specimens from Panama are more reddish brown on a purplish white background
Discussion:-C. garciai could be confused with C. cingulatus (which has a similar colour pattern, but is smaller with a more straight sided spire, a more roundly angulate shoulder, and spiral grooves rather than ridges on the body whorl), C. cancellatus (which is morphologically very close, but has the spire less stepped -except in large Brazilian specimens- with more distinct spiral ridges on the more concave tops of the whorls, and the shoulder less sharply angled) and a population of C. spurius from off Honduras (2) (which is more slender with a strongly concave sided spire and a different colour pattern).

Published in: Conchiglia 35 35(309), 43
Ocean geography: Indo-Pacific
Type Locality: Offshore Exmouth, Western Australia.
Type Data: Holotype in WAMP deposited and catalogued
Type Size: 19 x 9 mm
Nomenclature: An available name
Taxonomy: Synonym form of Conus lischkeanus Weinkauff, 1875
Current Group Names:-
Family:-CONIDAE SubFamily:-PUNCTICULIINAE
Genus:-Calamiconus Species:-lischkeanus garywilsoni forma
Synonyms:- There are no junior synonyms
Geographic Range:-Exmouth, Western Australia
Habitat:-The depth varies from 35-45 metres. The habitat is a vast sand desert with absolutely no rock or reef within 3 km.
Description:-Source La Conchiglia Oct. –Dec. 2003
The holotype is rather heavy, small, conical, with a moderately high, pointed spire. The protoconch is conspicuous and smooth, consisting of three whorls with a maximum diameter of 0.4 mm. The postnuclear whorls are not tuberculate. The outline of the spire is slightly concave, the eight teleoconch whorls are slightly stepped. The shoulder is angulated. The sutural ramp shows five distinct, somewhat undulating spiral grooves. The last whorl is very slightly convex and smooth, except for the anterior fifth where there are shallow spiral ribs. These are rather distant at first, becoming denser towards the anterior tip. The aperture is straight, slightly widening anteriorly. The operculum is rather narrow and slightly curved, measuring one fifth of the aperture's length.
Coloration. The protoconch is reddish brown. The ground color of the teleoconch whorls is purplish, except for the shoulder, which is whitish. The purplish sutural ramps are ornamented with widely spaced, chestnut-colored radial streaks that extend just below the shoulder. The body whorl is uniformly brown in the upper half, forming a wavy, darker-bordered middle band. In the lower half, the holotype displays much of the ground color, interrupted by irregular brown blotches. The aperture and the anterior end are rich purple. The measurements are enumerated according to the shell formula proposed by Röckel et al. (1995): L = shell-length (mm); RW = relative weight (g/mm); RD = relative diameter of last whorl; PMD =: position of the maximum diameter of the last whorl; RSH= relative spire height.
L= 15 - 20
RW= 0.04 - 0.05
RD= 0.48 - 0.52
PMD= 0.68 - 0.71
RSH= 0.25 - 0.26
Discussion:-Considered a synonym juvenile form of C. lischkeanus, the description hightlights the differences as smaller size, different pattern and purple on the anterior end.

Geographic Range:-Philippines
Habitat:-Shells were fished on gravel and mud bottoms, or a mixture of two
Description:
Shell small to moderately small. Average almost 24 mm in length. The shell is conical in shape. The outline of the last whorl is slightly sigmoid. The shape of the aperture is wide. The shoulder is sharply angulated, with a concave sutural ramp. The outline of the spire is slightly concave. The protoconch is raised and has 3 smooth whorls. Below the protoconch are 8 spiral whorls. The shoulder of the first 65 whorls is covered with hardly raised knobs that disappear on the later whorls. The subsutural ramp of the first whorls is covered with tiny axial ribs. On the last whorl, the sharp shoulder extends sometimes slightly over the body whorl. This body whorl is fairly elongate, fairly smooth and covered by a large number of incised spiral grooves. The overall base coloration is white with a grayish shine, covered by a pattern of brown, fairly small flecks. These flecks are set in 3 spiral bands, separated by lighter color bands. Within the lighter color bands, the brown pattern changes into spaced dots. The spire is covered by radiating brown flecks. The inside of the aperture is white, translucent towards the periphery.
