Propebela scalaris (Møller 1842)

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

Description

The length of the shell varies between 11 mm and 27 mm.

The shell is elongate. The spire is longer than the aperture. The spiral striation is closer, and more uniform than in Propebela rugidata. The apex is rounded acuminate; on the first whorl, only faint spiral ribs (2–3) are visible.^[2]
