Conservation status in IUCN Red List
Least concern.
Remarks
This taxon was initially introduced as a subspecies, i.e., Conus navarroi calhetae Rolán, 1990, due to morphological similarities in shell and radula between the populations from São Vicente and Maio islands. However, these disjunct populations are genetically distant. The closest relative according to the phylogeny is the parapatric taxon A. galeao.
