Not commonly found in that small a size.
You're looking for a non-perforated band clamp. "Ideal Triton" makes two which fit your requirements. Min diameter 5/16, max 5/8". 53302-0016 or 53303-0016 is their part number, but you'll find that most dealers renumber them. Often known as an "ideal" hose clamp. NAPA carries the Triton brand, but I don't know if they have those two part numbers in their system.
You should be able to get 613006751, which is a 06-sized hose clamp with liner. Does the same thing as you're looking for really. Fits 1/4" to 3/8" hose...which means the ID is going to be larger than your specified 5/16. If you're clamping 5/16 hose, though, you'll be fine.
Your other option is to go with a Fuel Injection Hose clamp. These are available in different sizes, and should go down to the size you need. Certainly if you're doing 5/16 hose there is NO problem. NAPA, Lordco and Canadian Tire all have them, bring 'em a photo so they know what you're talking about. Can't find them on Can Tire's website, but I know for a fact that they carry them. Come in blister packs of 4 or 5, usually in the "help" section if I remember correctly.
