Conus fuscolineatus is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.^[2]

Like all species within the genus Conus, these snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all.

Description[]

The size of an adult shell varies between 15 mm and 40 mm.

Distribution[]

This species occurs in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean from Guinee to Angola, and in the Mediterranean Sea.
