Vexillum zebuense, common name the zebu mitre, is a species of small sea snail, marine gastropod mollusk in the family Costellariidae, the ribbed miters.[1]
The length of the shell attains 28 mm.
(Original description) The shell is somewhat fusiform and shining. It is grooved towards the base, very finely cancellated with rather flat close-set ridges, of which the longitudinal are the stronger. The shell is white, the upper part of the whorls is ornamented with a few large chestnut-brown spots. The columella is five-plaited. [2]
The shell shows strong axial ribs with narrow flattened crests. They are overridden and slightly notched by narrow spiral grooves that separate wide flattened areas. [3]
This marine species occurs in thewestern Pacific from the Philippines, through Fiji to Polynesia.
