Vaceuchelus vangoethemi is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Chilodontaidae.[1]
The length of the shell attains 7.6 mm. The shell is a pearly white with a very predominant luster, with occasional tan dots littered throughout the surface. The species is characterized by an elevated spire and sculpture surface, including granule spiral cords and axial ribs that form beaded intersections, with the base bearing four to five granular cords and a narrow umbilicus often restricted to a silt.
