Conasprella arcuata, common name the arched cone, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.

Contents

Like all species within the genus Conus, these cone snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all.

Description

The size of the shell varies between 35 mm and 60 mm.

Distribution

This marine species occurs in the Gulf of California, and in the Pacific Ocean from Mexico to Peru. Type locality near Mazatlán, Sinaloa, Mexico.
