Costellariidae sometimes called the "ribbed miters" is a taxonomic family of minute to medium-sized predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks.[2] This family of snails is also sometimes referred to as Vexillum miters. The main family of miter shells however is Mitridae, a closely related group.
Taxonomy
This family was previously sometimes known as Vexillidae.
Latiromitra (from family Ptychatractidae) has been found to be closely related to Costellariidae in the molecular phylogeny analysis by Fedosov & Kantor (2010).[1]

Genera within the family Costellariidae include:
- Austromitra Finlay, 1927[3]
- Costellaria Swainson, 1840[1]
- Mitromica S. S. Berry, 1958[1]
- Nodicostellaria Petuch, 1987[1]
- Pusia Swainson, 1840 - It is either a distinct genus[1] or a subgenus of Vexillum[1]
