• Source: Bela (gastropod)

Bela is a genus of sea snails; marine gastropod mollusks in the family Mangeliidae.




Taxonomy


Because of taxonomic uncertainty regarding the type species, many authors in the 19th century e.g. G.O. Sars (1878) and W.H.Dall (1919) used the generic name Bela for unrelated species correctly placed in Propebela, Oenopota or Curtitoma, and then used Raphitoma for species currently placed in Bela.




Description


The ovate shell is fusiform. The surface is dull, smooth, or longitudinally ribbed. The spire is elevated and shorter than the body whorl. The columella is flattened. The siphonal canal is short. The outer lip shows a small sinus at its junction with the body whorl.
