Glabella is a genus of small tropical and warm-water sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Marginellidae, the margin snails. [1]

Taxonomy

It is debatable whether it is justified to distinguish this genus from Marginella s. str. without a comprehensive phylogenetic hypothesis of the family. However the two genera cannot be objective synonyms because Marginella glabella (Linnaeus, 1758) is not one of the species originally included in Glabella.

Species

According to the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS), the following species with valid names are included within the genus Glabella : [2]

Species brought into synonymy
  • Glabella arenaria Mörch, 1852: synonym of Glabella denticulata (Link, 1807)
  • Glabella ferreirai Alves, 1996 synonym of Glabella mozambicana Boyer, 2014
  • Glabella henrikasi (Bozzetti, 1995): synonym of Marginella henrikasi Bozzetti, 1995
  • Glabella lucani (Jousseaume, 1884): synonym of Marginella lucani Jousseaume, 1884
