AB Although cone snails are among the most studied group of gastropods, new species are stillregularly described. Here, we focus on Afonsoconus Tucker & Tenorio, 2013, a lineage that includes onlytwo species from the Indo-Pacific Ocean. The analysis of molecular (partial mitochondrial cox1 genesequences) and morphological (shell and radular tooth) characters revealed that the samples collected bydredging in deep water during a recent expedition carried out in the Mozambique Channel are differentfrom the samples collected in the Pacific Ocean. We thus introduce here a new species, Afonsoconuscrosnieri sp. nov., from the SW Indian Ocean including records from the Mozambique Channel, theComoros and Glorieuses Islands, Madagascar, South Africa and Reunion Island.
