Pleurotoma vauquelini Payraudeau, 1827 (Sabelli & Spada in Spada et al . 2023: 38 ), by original designation ( Gray 1847b ). Present-day, Mediterranean. Note— Pseudomangelia Sabelli & Spada ( in Spada et al ., 2023 ) was erected as a monotypic genus for Pleurotoma vauquelini Payraudeau, 1826 separating it from other mangeliids on both shell and soft tissue characters. Shell characters considered peculiar to the genus were flat spiral bands separated by narrow spiral grooves. For differences in soft tissue and radula, see Spada et al . (2023 , p. 38).
