Bela (gastropod)
Bela is a genus of sea snails; marine gastropod mollusks in the family Mangeliidae.
Taxonomy
Because of taxonomic uncertainty regarding the type species, many authors in the 19th century e.g. G.O. Sars and W.H.Dall used the generic name Bela for unrelated species correctly placed in Propebela, Oenopota or Curtitoma, and then used Raphitoma for species currently placed in Bela.Species
