Description
The species is described from a 2015 fossil specimen and added to the genus based on color and morphological similarities to Profundiconus lani, though the high spire on its shell is more similar to Conus bellacoensis. The assignment to the current genus is disputed. The size of the shell varies between 17.6 mm and 25.5 mm.
Distribution This proposed fossil cone snail is the only one of its genus found in the Neogene of the Dominican Republic.
