Ptychobela vexillum is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and allies.[1]
R.N. Kilburn proposed in 1989 Brachytoma vexillum Habe & Kosuge, 1966 as a synonym of Ptychobela suturalis (Gray, 1838)[2]
The epithet vexillium was probably a misspelling in the original text, but was not indicated as such. Therefore, it takes priority over vexillum, published five-month later and repeated later by some authors.
Description
The length of the shell attains 46.5 mm, its diameter 14.5 mm.
