''Lilliconus'' is subgenus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the genus ''Conasprella'', family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.〔Bouchet, P. (2015). Conasprella (Lilliconus) G. Raybaudi Massilia, 1994. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=834391 on 2015-03-25〕 In the new classification of the family Conidae by Puillandre N., Duda T.F., Meyer C., Olivera B.M. & Bouchet P. (2015), ''Lilliconus'' has become a subgenus of ''Conasprella'': ''Conasprella (Lilliconus)'' Tucker & Tenorio, 2009 represented as ''Conasprella'' Thiele, 1929 〔 ( Puillandre N., Duda T.F., Meyer C., Olivera B.M. & Bouchet P. (2015). ''One, four or 100 genera? A new classification of the cone snails''. Journal of Molluscan Studies. 81: 1-23 ) 〕 ==Distinguishing characteristics== The Tucker & Tenorio 2009 taxonomy distinguishes ''Lilliconus'' from ''Conus'' in the following ways:〔Tucker J.K. & Tenorio M.J. (2009), Systematic Classification of Recent and Fossil Conoidean Gastropods, ConchBooks, Hankenheim, Germany, 295 pp.〕 * Genus ''Conus'' ''sensu stricto'' Linnaeus, 1758 :: Shell characters (living and fossil species) :::The basic shell shape is conical to elongated conical, has a deep anal notch on the shoulder, a smooth periostracum and a small operculum. The shoulder of the shell is usually nodulose and the protoconch is usually multispiral. Markings often include the presence of tents except for black or white color variants, with the absence of spiral lines of minute tents and textile bars. ::Radular tooth (not known for fossil species) :::The radula has an elongated anterior section with serrations and a large exposed terminating cusp, a non-obvious waist, blade is either small or absent and has a short barb, and lacks a basal spur. ::Geographical distribution :::These species are found in the Indo-Pacific region. ::Feeding habits :::These species eat other gastropods including cones.〔 * Subgenus ''Lilliconus'' G. Raybaudi Massilia, 1994 ::Shell characters (living and fossil species) :::The shell is small, turbinate to conical in shape with a raised conic spire and angulate shoulders. The whorl tops do not have cords. The protoconch is paucispiral. The shell is ornamented with nodules that persist, and usually have a purple or brown colored interior. The details of the periostracum and operculum are unknown. ::Radular tooth (not known for fossil species) :::The anterior section of the radular tooth is shorter than the posterior section, and has a well-developed posterior blade and a blunt shaft fold. A basal spur is absent, and the barb and blade are short. The radular tooth has serrations in one or two rows. ::Geographical distribution :::The species in this genus occur in the Indo-Pacific region. ::Feeding habits :::Unknown.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lilliconus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
