''Conus milneedwardsi'', known to collectors as the "Glory of India", is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.〔 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. ;Subspecies: * ''Conus milneedwardsi clytospira'' Melvill & Standen, 1899 * ''Conus milneedwardsi eduardi'' Delsaerdt, 1997 * ''Conus milneedwardsi lemuriensis'' Wils & Delsaerdt, 1989 * ''Conus milneedwardsi milneedwardsi'' Jousseaume, 1894: common name: the Glory of India cone ==Description== The size of an adult shell varies between 46 mm and 185 mm.
