Profundiconus vaubani is een in zee levende slakkensoort uit de familie Conidae en werd in 1995 beschreven door Röckel in Richard & Moolenbeek als Conus vaubani.[1] Net zoals alle soorten binnen het geslacht Conus zijn deze slakken roofzuchtig en giftig. Zij bezitten een harpoenachtige structuur waarmee ze hun prooi kunnen steken en verlammen.[2]
