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

Description

The length of the shell varies between 7 mm and 20 mm.

(Original description) The characteristics of this species are close to Propebela rugulata; the relations between the spire and the aperture,are typical. This species differs, in its sculpture, in having a more projectant angle, which may occasionally pass into a sharp protuberant edge and in a somewhat more marked spiral striation. The operculum appears to be somewhat broader than the typical one. The teeth of the radula have a peculiar recessment upon the one side; the form,, otherwise, is the broad typical one. Out of 6 specimens examined, all showed the same uniform structure.[2]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off Spitzbergen.
