From St. Vincent, about a half inch long. Is this Vexillum albocinctum?

It is not one of the very few species of Western Atlantic Vexillum that I know. However I took the time to carefully go through the Malacolog Vexillum listings looking also at images on Femorale of each species (assuming they are correctly identified, which is not always the case) and the closest match I can find is Vexillum histrio.

I would agree with Susan. Cernohorsky's "Taxonomy of Caribbean -Atlantic Costellariidae" 1978, has a very good illustration of this species (Lectotype and Paralectotype) even though it is not in colour.
