Mangelia is a large genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Mangeliidae.
The genus has been used for a long time as a wastebasket taxon. There have been many described species, many of which have become synonyms. Among the remaining accepted names a good number are still in doubt and are little known. They are only tentatively placed within the genus Mangelia.
This genus was named Mangelia by Leach and accepted by Risso in 1826. Later, some authors, such as Lovén in 1846, spelled it inadvertently as Mangilia, to honor the Italian malacologist Giuseppe Mangili (1767-1829). This had led to some confusion.Vaught, K.C., 1989. In Abbott, R.T. & Boss, K.J. (eds) A Classification of the Living Mollusca. American Malacologists Inc., Melbourne, Florida. 195 pp
Description The shell has a fusiform shape. It is mostly longitudinally ribbed The spire is elongated, turriculated, acuminated. The lip is very finely rugosely denticulated. The lip is thickened and slightly sinuated at the upper part. The siphonal canal is short, more or less truncated. The columella is smooth. The sinus is near the suture. There is no operculum.Ralph Arnold, The Paleontology and Stratigraphy of the Marine Pliocene and Pleistocene of San Pedro, California; Memoirs of the California Academy of Sciences 1903 v. 3 Reeve L.A. (1846). Monograph of the genus Mangelia. In: Conchologia Iconica, vol. 3, pl. 1-8 and unpaginated text. L. Reeve & Co., London.
The genus Mangelia used to be defined by a multispiral protoconch, contrary to the genus Mangeliella Bucquoy, Dautzenberg & Dollfus, 1883 which was defined by a paucispiral protoconch.Philippe Bouchet, Turrid genera and mode of development: the use and abuse of protoconch morphology; Malacologia v. 32 (1990-1991), p. 71 In 2011 the genus Mangeliella has been recognized as a synonym of Mangelia.Bouchet P., Kantor Yu.I., Sysoev A. & Puillandre N.
