Gauging a specific difference of lepton numbers such as

is a popular model-building option, which gives rise to economical explanations for the muon anomalous magnetic moment. However, this choice of gauge group seems rather arbitrary, and additional physics is required to reproduce the observed neutrino masses and mixings. We address these shortcomings by embedding

in the vectorial SU(3) gauge symmetry of lepton flavor. The vacuum expectation values (VEVs) of scalar fields in the fundamental, six-dimensional and adjoint representations allow for phenomenologically viable lepton and gauge boson masses. The octet scalar gives rise to charged lepton masses, and together with the triplet scalar generates masses for all the leptophilic gauge bosons except for the

The model predicts three heavy neutral leptons at the GeV-TeV scale as well as vectorlike charged lepton partners; it requires the mass of the lightest active neutrino to exceed 10
