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[https://archive.org/details/revisionofaustri00hedl Hedley, C. 1922. A revision of the Australian Turridae. Records of the Australian Museum 13(6): 213–359, pls 42–56]
