to the recognition of a new species of cone snails in the Conus lividus
complex, which we name Conus conco new species (description
is provided in Supplementary Data 1). Conus conco is
restricted to the Marquesas Archipelago, where it had earlier been
mistaken for C. sanguinolentus or C. lividus (Moolenbeek et al.,
2008). We used phenetic approaches for morphological characters
and phylogenetic methods for DNA sequences (COI and 28S genes)
to distinguish this new species from other species that belong to
the same complex (C. diadema, C. sanguinolentus and C. lividus).
