Bela plicatilis

Bela plicatilis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.

According to J.K. Tucker (2004), Mangelia plicatilis is a synonym of Haedropleura septangularis <small>(Montagu, G., 1803)</small>. However, Mangelia plicatilis is currently considered valid as Bela plicatilis.
