the radular tooth. Several published studies consider these species vermivores, discussing a unique conopressin in the venom chemistry, without providing details on their diet. Species This list of species is based on the information in the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) list. Species within the subgenus Conasprelloides include: Conasprelloides brunneobandatus (Petuch, 1992): synonym of Conus brunneobandatus Petuch, 1992 Conasprelloides cancellatus (Hwass in Bruguière, 1792): synonym of Conus cancellatus Hwass in Bruguière, 1792 Conasprelloides coltrorum Petuch & R. F. Myers, 2014: synonym of Conus coltrorum (Petuch & R. F. Myers, 2014) Conasprelloides hazinorum Petuch & Myers, 2014: synonym of Conus hazinorum (Petuch & Myers, 2014) (alternate representation) Conasprelloides kevani (Petuch, 1987): synonym of Conus kevani Petuch, 1987 Conasprelloides kremerorum (Petuch, 1988): synonym of Conus kremerorum Petuch, 1988 Conasprelloides leekremeri (Petuch, 1987): synonym of Conus leekremeri Petuch, 1987 Conasprelloides levistimpsoni Tucker, 2013: synonym of Conus levistimpsoni (Tucker, 2013) Conasprelloides penchaszadehi (Petuch, 1986): synonym of Conus penchaszadehi Petuch, 1986 Conasprelloides stimpsoni (Dall, 1902): synonym of Conus stimpsoni Dall, 1902 Conasprelloides venezuelanus (Petuch, 1987): synonym of Conus venezuelanus Petuch, 1987 Conasprelloides villepinii (P. Fischer & Bernardi, 1857): synonym of Conus villepinii P. Fischer & Bernardi, 1857 Significance of "alternative representation" Prior to 2009, all species within the family Conidae were placed in one genus, Conus. In 2009 however, J.K. Tucker and M.J. Tenorio proposed a classification system for the over 600 recognized species that were in the family. Their classification proposed 3 distinct families and 82 genera for the living species of cone snails. This classification was based upon shell morphology, radular differences, anatomy, physiology, cladistics, with comparisons to molecular (DNA) studies. Published accounts of genera within the Conidae that include the genus Conaspelloides include J.K. Tucker & M.J. Tenorio (2009), and Bouchet et al. (2011). Testing in order to try to understand the molecular phylogeny of the Conidae was initially begun by Christopher Meyer and Alan Kohn, and is continuing, particularly with the advent of nuclear DNA testing in addition to mDNA testing. However, in 2011, some experts still prefer to use the traditional classification, where all species are placed in Conus within the single family Conidae: for example, according to the current November 2011 version of the World Register of Marine Species, all species within the family Conidae are in the genus Conus. The binomial names of species in the 82 cone snail genera listed in Tucker & Tenorio 2009 are
