SUMMARYOf the 35 species described by Linnaeus underConnsin the 10th edition of theSystema Naturae, 29 are concluded to be valid, four are rejected asnomina dubia, and two are no longer placed inConus.Of the two additional species described in the 12th edition in 1767, one is valid and the other is a synonym of a species described by Linnaeus in 1758.Holotypes of eleven Linnaean species exist. Ten lectotypes, seven illustrations representing lectotypes, and two neotypes have been selected. The types of all 30 valid Linnaean species are indicated in summary form in Table 1 and illustrated photographically in Plates 1–3.None of the five infraspecific taxa proposed by Linnaeus are considered to merit elevation to species rank; it is concluded that all should be relegated to infrasub‐specific status, as they are based not on allopatric populations but on morphological variations without regard to geographic ori
