Family Mangeliidae Fischer, 1883 View in CoL Genus Mangelia Risso, 1826
Type spec ies: Mangelia striolata Risso, 1826 ; San Remo-Ventimiglia ( Italy), Recent .
Remarks.—The description of the genus Mangelia was extremely brief ( Risso 1826) and the type species material has been lost ( Arnaud 1978). The recent designation of neotype for Mangelia striolata ( Spada and Della Bella 2010) should bring to a close the long debate concerning the taxonomical validity of the species designation by Risso (1826; see also Scarponi et al. 2011a, 2014b), while stabilising the taxonomic usage of this key species.
