Abstract
Two new cone shells, one in the family Conidae and one in the family Conilithidae, are described from eastern Australia and Aruba. The new conid, Tesselliconus devorsinei n. sp., was dredged from 30 m depth off southern Queensland, Australia, and represents the newest member of a poorly-known deeper Neritic Zone Tesselliconus species complex that includes T. sandwichensis and T. athenae from Hawaii, T. kashiwajimensis from southern Japan, and T. edaphus from the Panamic Province. The new conilithid, Jaspidiconus vantwoudti n. sp., was found to be endemic to the Dutch Antilles island of Aruba, where it occurs in shallow subtidal rocky areas in the surf and surge zone.
