Glabella is a genus of small tropical and warm-water sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Marginellidae, the margin snails.[1]
Taxonomy
It is debatable whether it is justified to distinguish this genus from Marginella s. str. without a comprehensive phylogenetic hypothesis of the family. However the two genera cannot be objective synonyms because Marginella glabella (Linnaeus, 1758) is not one of the species originally included in Glabella.
