Conus kukulcanPetuch, 2000, p. 82 [Objective synonym of valid name] Distribution: Honduras Comments: Unjustified emendation of 'kulkulcan', which Petuch (2000) states is a variant spelling of Mayan 'kukulcan'. Since his use of 'kulkulcan' in 1980 was intentional rather than a typographical or printer's error, the original spelling must stand (ICZN Article 32.5).
