Summary, etc. <p class="Abstract" style="text-align: justify;">A benthic investigation from the coastal corridor of Andhra Pradesh revealed 17 species of cone snails. Of these, seven species, namely <em>Conasprella aculeiformis</em> Reeve, <em>C. coromandelica</em> (E. A. Smith), <em>Conus amadis</em> (Gmelin), <em>C. caracteristicus</em> (Fischer von Waldheim), <em>C. coronatus</em> (Gmelin), <em>C. monile</em> Hwass in Bruguiere, and<em> C. sulcatus</em> Hwass in Bruguière are recorded for the first time from the coastal waters of Andhra Pradesh. The present findings of <em>Conus </em>from Andhra Pradesh coast are indicative of the species extended distribution to the northeast coast along the Bay of Bengal. Additionally, the live specimens collected could be of resource value for species description and historical analyses.</p>
