Pseudomangelia

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).
