Abstract

Specimens of Conus jaspideus Gmelin, 1791 collected along the Brazilian coast were dissected for morphological studies of the soft parts and radula, in a recharacterization of the species. Two specimens collected in the State of Bahia, proved to be imposex. Specimens in an aquarium were photographed during the process of predation. Herein, for the first time, the atrophied penis of an imposex specimen of C. jaspideus is illustrated, as well as the feeding process, contributing to the knowledge of the family.
