Vokesimurex cabritii, common name Cabrit's murex, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.[1]
The length of the shell varies between 39.5 mm and 66 mm.
The short, thick-set spines extend over the siphonal canal.[2]
This is a fine species, of which the adults are a fine uniform pink, or pinkish white, with no dots or other color markings whatever. They may be luxuriantly spinous, or nearly destitute of spines.[3]
