Juvénile
Charmant et troublant petit Conus distans juvénile plus attachant que la forme accomplie. Rarement vue dans les collections et les illustrations, il est mieux dessiné, sculpté que son adulte de parent qui, à part sa taille, n'a rien pour lui. Obtenu sur la Bourse/Expo Paris 2008. Connu sous le nom de Conus distans f. chinoi (Shikama, 1970). Taille: 57 mm.
