''Lamniconus'' is a subgenus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies. In the latest classification of the family Conidae by Puillandre N., Duda T.F., Meyer C., Olivera B.M. & Bouchet P. (2015), ''Lamniconus'' has become a subgenus of ''Conus'' as ''Conus (Lamniconus)'' da Motta, 1991 (type species: ''Conus cleerii'' Reeve, 1844) represented as ''Conus'' Linnaeus, 1758 Distinguishing characteristics The Tucker & Tenorio 2009 taxonomy distinguishes ''Lamniconus'' 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.

Conus Lemniscatus
''Conus lemniscatus'', common name the ribbon cone, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies. ; Subspecies: * ''Conus lemniscatus carcellesi'' Martins, 1945 (synonym: ''Lamniconus lemniscatus carcellesi'' (Martins, 1945)): synonym of '' Conus carcellesi'' Martins, 1945 * ''Conus lemniscatus lemniscatus'' Reeve, 1849 (synonym: ''Lamniconus lemniscatus lemniscatus'' (Reeve, 1849)): synonym of ''Conus lemniscatus'' Reeve, 1849 Like all species within the genus ''Conus'', these snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all. Description The size of an adult shell varies between 20 mm and 65 mm. The shell shows slightly contracted sides. The spire is acuminated with strong growth lines.
