''Conus ochroleucus'', common name the prefect cone, 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 ochroleucus ochroleucus'' Gmelin, 1791 * ''Conus ochroleucus tmetus'' Tomlin, 1937 (synonyms : ''Asprella ochroleuca tmetus'' (Tomlin, J.R. le B., 1937); ''Conus pilkeyi'' Petuch, 1974; ''Conus sulciferus'' A. Adams, 1855; ''Phasmoconus pilkeyi'' Petuch, E.J., 1974) ==Description== The size of an adult shell varies between 40mm and 88mm. The shell is long and narrow, distantly grooved towards the base. Its color is yellowish brown, variously shaded, with a rather indistinct median lighter band. The white aperture is somewhat wider anteriorly. The striate and acuminate spire is maculated with yellowish brown and white. 〔 George Washington Tryon, Manual of Conchology vol.
