Vexillum castum is a species of small sea snail, marine gastropod mollusk in the family Costellariidae, the ribbed miters. [1]
Sowerby II, 1874 introduced the new replacement name Mitra hastata for Turricula castaH. Adams, 1872 non Voluta castaGmelin, 1791, both of which he placed in Mitra, but Sowerby's name is preoccupied by M. hastataKarsten, 1849. Since the replacement name is no longer in use and the taxa are no longer considered congeneric (Gmelin's taxon is now called Scabricola casta), Adams' name should be used (ICZN Article 59.3).
The length of the white shell attains 8.5 mm, its diameter 3 mm.
