| Abstract |
This article provides an analysis of Conidae dredged at forty nine stations during the TARASOC expedition to inventory of the benthic fauna of the more central island groups of French Polynesia. Throughout Tarava seamounts, some Tuamotu atolls, and deepwater stations off the Society Islands weresampled. A total of 29 cone species were collected. Of these, 15 represented range extensions of previously described species and three are described as new species in this article. The other 11 species found did not provide any new distribution records or new species. |
