| Although cone snails are among the most studied group of gastropods, new species are still regularly described. Here, we focus on Afonsoconus Tucker & Tenorio, 2013, a lineage that includes only two species from the Indo-Pacific Ocean. The analysis of molecular (partial mitochondrial cox1 gene sequences) and morphological (shell and radular tooth) characters revealed that the samples collected by dredging in deep water during a recent expedition carried out in the Mozambique Channel are different from the samples collected in the Pacific Ocean. We thus introduce here a new species, Afonsoconus crosnieri sp. nov., from the SW Indian Ocean including records from the Mozambique Channel, the Comoros and Glorieuses Islands, Madagascar, South Africa and... |

| Molecular phylogenies of cone snails have revealed that the c. 350 sequenced species are divided into four main lineages, Conus, Conasprella, Californiconus and Profundiconus. In a recent study, minute species (less than 8 mm) were for the first time included in a molecular phylogenetic tree and were shown to correspond to deep lineages, of similar status to the four previously recognized, and sister group to Californiconus. They were attributed to the available generic names Lilliconus and Pseudolilliconus. In this article, we analyse, using morphological (shell and radula) and molecular characters (cox1 gene), several species of minute cone snails, and we conclude that the species considered as Pseudolilliconus in the previous study should actually be... |
