Conilithes is an extinct genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Conidae, the cone snails. [1]
This genus is known in the fossil record from the Lutetian (Eocene) of France, the United Kingdom and New Zealand to the Piacenzian (Pliocene) of Italy (age range: 48.6 to 2.588 million years ago).[2]
Conolithus (Hermannsen, 1846) is an "invalid emendation" of Conilithes (Swainson, 1840), in the terminology introduced in the Copenhagen Decisions on Zoological Nomenclature (London, 1953: 43). Conilithes Swainson (spelled Conolithes by Wenz) is a junior homonym of Conilites (Schloth, 1820) (spelled Conolites by Wenz)[3]
