Deux Pionoconus catus f. fuscoolivaceus répondant assez bien à la description de Mike Filmer « C. fuscoolivaceus is mainly dark brown with black spiral lines and scattered patches of white; spire is rounded and quite high ». Il est dit originaire d' Indonésie. Le plus gros vient d' une brocante (Courbevoie) il y a bien longtemps. D' après le vendeur son père l' avait ramené de Madagascar ou de Tahiti ..... Le second (le petit) est plus curieux. Il m' est arrivé dans un lot qui c' est révélé être des Pionoconus easoni des Marquises envoyé par l' ami Damien. Taille: 37 et 30 mm.
