Our Shell of te Month for September is a pair of the stunning Vexillum filiaaregina Cate, 1961. It is a large miter, white in color encircled by alternating wide orange and a narrow black bands.Its name was declared invalid due to a technicality and so far no replacement has been found. It could be a color form of Vexillum regina, Sowerby, 1828.
Our shells were collected by divers on a sandy bottom at 25’ off of Batayan Island, Ceby, Philippines. They area over 65mm in length
They were originally offered by Showcase Shells of Sanibel and were donated by Richard Kent.
