Vexitomina radulaeformis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Horaiclavidae.[1]

Description

Charles Hedley (1922) was of the opinion that this species is unknown to Australian conchologists ; apparently it resembles Vexitomina metcalfei (Angas, 1867). The type is probably in the Godefffoy Museum, Hamburg . He described it as Inquisitor radulaeformis[2]

Distribution

This marine species is endemic to Australia and occurs in the Bass Strait, Tasmania.
