Propebela popovia
species of mollusc
Propebela popovia is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.
Description
The length of the shell attains 13 mm, its diameter 5.5 mm.
(Original description) The white shell shows a straw-colored periostracum. It consists of six shouldered whorls, a subglobular small protoconch, and a distinct suture. The spiral sculpture consists of (on the upper whorl four or five) rounded threads, between the shoulder and the succeeding suture. The threading is obsolete on the body whorl or reduced to fine striation on the base and on the siphonal canal. The axial sculpture on the spire consists of about 16 short rounded ribs swollen at the shoulder and reaching the succeeding suture, but fainter on the body whorl and absent from the base. The aperture is simple. The columella is white and erased. The siphonal canal is short and straight.

Why this record matters
“Propebela popovia” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Propebela, popovia and species provides the most credible route into that argument.
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 Q3139240. 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.
