Vexillum radix (Sowerby, 1874)

Vexillum radix is rare at Kwajalein. One empty shell has been found on the intertidal reef. The identification remains uncertain. We currently have no photos of the Marshall Islands specimen; the photo below, courtesy of Richard Salisbury, is the holotype from the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University.
