Remarks:
The original description of the species as
Cythara derelicta callosa
was by
Nordsieck (1977)
based on a specimen from
Attika
(Saronicos Bay,
Aegean
Sea).
Cachia (1995)
later renamed it
Mangelia callosa
. Shell with brown paucispiral protoconch. On the teleoconch whorls thick axial ribs (8 on the body whorl) as wide as their interspaces and many fine spirals with spaced stronger ones constitute the sculpture. Posterior sinus deep, siphonal canal wide and labrum thickened. The whorls are angulated and more evident on the body whorl. Based on its shell characteristics,
M. callosa
appears most similar to
M. barashi
. Differences between this species and other congeneric ones were noted in detail by
Cachia (1995)
.
Distribution
: The species is probably endemic to the Eastern Mediterranean (
Mifsud & Ovalis 2003
).
Turkish coasts
: Levantine Sea (
Aslan & Ovalis 2017
).
