''Conus lemniscatus'', common name the ribbon cone, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.〔 ; Subspecies: * ''Conus lemniscatus carcellesi'' Martins, 1945 (synonym: ''Lamniconus lemniscatus carcellesi'' (Martins, 1945)): synonym of ''Conus carcellesi'' Martins, 1945 * ''Conus lemniscatus lemniscatus'' Reeve, 1849 (synonym: ''Lamniconus lemniscatus lemniscatus'' (Reeve, 1849)): synonym of ''Conus lemniscatus'' Reeve, 1849 Like all species within the genus ''Conus'', these snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all. ==Description== The size of an adult shell varies between 20 mm and 65 mm. The shell shows slightly contracted sides. The spire is acuminated with strong growth lines. The body whorl is delicately ridged throughout. The color of the shell is whitish, maculated with chestnut, and with every alternate ridge chestnut-spotted. 〔 George Washington Tryon, Manual of Conchology vol.
