The habitats and taxonomy of the Costellariidae genus Pusia, is poorly known in Southwestern Japan. Ten species of tiny and rare Pusia collected from coral reef slope in dropping off of Okinawa-jima Island are here described and illustrated. Vexillum (Pusia) suave (Souverbie, 1875), V. (P.) diutenerum (Hervier, 1897), V. (P.) rubrum (Broderip, 1836) and V. (P.) salisburyi Cernohorsky, 1976 have already been recorded from the Southwestern Islands. However, Vexillum (Pusia) plurinotatum Hervier, 1897, V. (P.) goubini Hervier, 1897, V. (P.) loyaltyense (Hervier, 1897), V. (P.) recurvirostris (Sowerby, 1908) and V. (P.) catenatum (Broderip, 1836) have been known from the south Pacific, but now they are newly recorded from the Japanese waters. Vexillum (Pusia) sp. somewhat resembles V. (P.) roseotinctum (Hervier, 1897) in size and sculpture, but differs from the latter in not having distinct rose brown band on the body whorl.
