J' ai acheté ce Conus Cylinder pour son pattern sans plus d' info sinon que son ex propriétaire est à La Réunion. Je pensais qu' il pouvait être un archiepiscopus du même pays. Mais non!!! Après consultation (Oui Môssieur, je consulte Moa, Môssieur!!!!) et divers avis il se révèle être originaire de Madagascar. Je le mets Cylinder archiepiscopus car il m' est impossible de l' attribuer à une forme précise. Taille: 55 mm.
I have bought this Conus Cylinder for its pattern without more info except that his former owner is in La Réunion Island. I thought that it could be a archiepiscopus from the same country. But no! After consultation (Yes Môssieur, I consult Moa, Môssieur!!) and various opinions it proves to be native to Madagascar, I put Cylinder archiepiscopus because it is impossible for me to attribute to a specific forma Size: 55 mm.
