Vexillum taeniatum, common name: the ribboned mitre, is a species of small sea snail, marine gastropod mollusk in the family Costellariidae, the ribbed miters.

These are crossed by spiral cords that become weak on the middle of the body whorl.

The shell is yellowish or orange, with a broad white central band, partly visible on the spire and is bordered with narrow chocolate bands.

There are one or two additional chocolate bands below, sometimes replaced by a single broad one next below the white.

[2] This species occurs in the Indian Ocean off Madagascar and in the Pacific Ocean off the Philippines, Indonesia, Fiji, Papua New Guinea and in the Gulf of Thailand.
