Mangelia pomara
species of mollusc
Mangelia pomara is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.
Description
The length of the shell attains 7 mm, its diameter 3 mm.
(Original description) The small, solid and discolored shell has a fusiform shape. It contains six moderately convex whorls. The protoconch is small, subglobular and smooth (slightly decorticated). The axial
sculpture consists of (on the penultimate whorl 11, on the body whorl 9) promment, slightly shouldered ribs with wider interspaces. The ribs undulate the appressed suture. The spiral sculpture consists of close-set alternated threads over the whole surface except between the shoulder and the suture, which is arcuately striated by the incremental lines. The aperture is narrow and straight. The anal sulcus is moderate.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Mangelia pomara”, the useful work is to connect “species of mollusc” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3727249. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
