DISTRIBUTION. — New Caledonia and Fiji (new record), shells in 215- 251 m. The nominotypical subspecies Vosekimurex dentifer dentifer (Watson, 1883) is known from the Moluccas, Borneo, the Philippines, Taiwan and southern Japan.
REMARKS. — Although only two juvenile specimens were collected, it was possible to identify them without any doubt from the characters of the protoconch and the first teleoconch whorls. The protoconch consists of two glossy, rounded whorls and the shell begins to develop axial varices on the third or fourth teleoconch whorl, having 9-11 axial ribs on previous whorls.
