Mangelia rhabdea is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.[1]

Description

[edit]

The length of the shell attains 4.5 mm, its diameter 1.5 mm.

(Original description) The white shell has a smooth protoconch of about one whorl and three subsequent nearly cylindrical whorls. The suture is distinct, not appressed. The anal fasciole is faintly indicated;. The axial sculpture consists only of obscure incremental lines. The spiral sculpture consists on the body whorl only, of a faint suggestion of an angle at the shoulder. The aperture is narrow, about two-fifths as long as the shell. The outer lip is thin, protractively arcuate. The anal sulcus is wide and deep. The columella is straight. The siphonal canal is hardly differentiated.[1]

Distribution

[edit]

This marine species was found off Fernandina, Florida, USA.
