Mangelia scabrida is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.
Description
The length of the shell varies between 3 mm and 11 mm.
Taxonomy Mangelia scabrida was first described by Tommaso Di Maria Allery Monterosato in 1890. In 1977, Fritz Nordsieck described Cythara (Rugocythara) farina as a separate species. Subsequent taxonomic revisions concluded that Cythara (Rugocythara) farina and its later combination Mangelia farina are junior subjective synonyms of Mangelia scabrida, which remains the accepted name.
Distribution This species occurs in the Mediterranean Sea and in the North Atlantic Ocean.
