''Vexillum'' is a genus of small to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Costellariidae. This genus is not monophyletic. It is considered a "dumping ground" for an array of unrelated forms.Cernohorsky WO. 1966. ''A study of mitrid radulae and a tentative generic arrangement of the family Mitridae.'' The Veliger 9: 101–126 Species Species within the genus ''Vexillum'' include: * '' Vexillum acromiale'' (Hedley, 1915) * '' Vexillum acuminatum'' (Gmelin, 1791) * '' Vexillum acupictum'' (Reeve, 1845) * '' Vexillum adamsianum'' Cernohorsky, 1978 * '' Vexillum aemula'' (E.

Costellariidae
Costellariidae sometimes called the "ribbed miters" is a taxonomic family of minute to medium-sized predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks. This family of snails is also sometimes referred to as ''Vexillum'' miters. The main family of miter shells however is Mitridae, a closely related group. The monophyly of this family has been confirmed. Taxonomy This family was previously sometimes known as Vexillidae. ''Latiromitra'' (from family Ptychatractidae) has been found to be closely related to Costellariidae in the molecular phylogeny analysis by Fedosov & Kantor (2010). Genera Genera within the family Costellariidae include: * ''Alisimitra'' Fedosov, Herrmann & Bouchet, 2017 * ''Atlantilux'' S.-I Huang, 2015 * ''Austromitra'' Finlay, 1927 * ''Ceratoxancus'' Kuroda, 1952 * ''Costapex'' Fedosov, Herrmann & Bouchet, 2017 * ''Latiromitra'' Locard, 1897 * ''Mitromica'' S.

Gastropod Shell
The gastropod shell is part of the body of a Gastropoda, gastropod or snail, a kind of mollusc. The shell is an exoskeleton, which protects from predators, mechanical damage, and dehydration, but also serves for muscle attachment and calcium storage. Some gastropods appear shell-less (slugs) but may have a remnant within the mantle, or in some cases the shell is reduced such that the body cannot be retracted within it (semi-slug). Some snails also possess an operculum that seals the opening of the shell, known as the Aperture (mollusc), aperture, which provides further protection. The study of mollusc shells is known as conchology. The biological study of gastropods, and other molluscs in general, is malacology. Shell morphology terms vary by species group. Shell layers The gastropod shell has three major layers secreted by the Mantle (mollusc), mantle. The calcareous central layer, tracum, is typically made of calcium carbonate precipitated into an organic matrix known as c ...
