Mangeliidae is a monophyletic family of small to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Conoidea. [2]

Bouchet, Kantor et al. elevated in 2011 the subfamily Mangeliinae together with subfamily Oenopitinae (at that point both belonging to the family Conidae) to the rank of family. This was based on anatomical characters and a dataset of molecular sequences of three gene fragments [1]

Description

The Mangeliidae are characterized by the lack of an operculum and by a deep sinus with a heavy callus on the shoulder slope of the outer lip. This outer lip (labrum) is reinforced. The aperture is oval-elongated, usually narrow, terminating in a rather short, truncated siphon. The aperture is only rarely denticulate. The axial ribs are dominant in the sculpture of the shell. The toxoglossate radula has a weak basal ribbon and relatively short marginal teeth with very variable morphology. The tooth cavity opens laterally.[3]

However, the following genera Neoguraleus and Liracraea are operculate with terminal nucleus. This makes the reinforced outer lip the most characteristic feature of this subfamily.
