Vexillum cf diutenerum (Hervier, 1897)
12.9mm

Vexillum cf diutenerum is rare at Kwajalein, known from single empty shell brought up in a sediment sample from about 61m on the seaward slope. While the color and axial ribs appear similar to V. diutenerum, at 12.9mm it was larger and considerably more elongate than typical V. diutenerum. It seemed safest to treat it separately for now.
