Range: Andaman Sea from Burma to Strait of Malacca.

Description: Moderately large to large, moderately solid to solid. Last whorl usually narrowly ovate; outline convex, grading to straight at adapical fourth and below centre. Aperture wider at base than near shoulder. Shoulder angulate. Spire low, outline slightly concave, straight or slightly sigmoid. First 3-5 postnuclear whorls tuberculate. Teleoconch sutural ramps flat to slightly concave, with 0-1 increasing to 6-11 spiral grooves. Last whorl with a few weak spiral grooves at base.

Last whorl brown or violet brown, with variably numerous white to cream arrow- or zigzag-shaped lines, concentrated in spiral bands within adapical and abapical thirds and at base. Pattern may be reduced along outer lip and on ventral side. Apex white. Following sutural ramps with light brown radial blotches, confluent in latest whorls. Aperture white.

Periostracum thin and translucent.

Animal light yellow, with some short black lines on the lateral sides of the foot (Roussy, pers. comm., 1990).

Habitat and Habits: In 70-200 m

Discussion: C. vicweei is similar to C. cervus in colour and shape, but C. cervus lacks white zigzag lines and C. vicweei lacks spiral rows of alternating brown and white markings.

This section contains verbatim reproductions of the accounts of 316 species of Conus from the Indo-Pacific region, from Manual of the Living Conidae, by Röckel, Korn and Kohn (1995). They are reproduced with the kind permission of the present publisher, Conchbooks.

All plates and figures referred to in the text are also in Röckel, Korn & Kohn, 1995. Manual of the Living Conidae Vol. 1: Indo-Pacific Region.

The range maps have been modified so that each species account has it own map, rather than one map that showed the ranges of several species in the original work. This was necessary because each species account is on a separate page on the website and not confined to the order of accounts in the book.
