Abstract
    We attempt to identify Mangelia striolata Risso, 1826, type species of the genus Mangelia Risso, 1826, which IS in turn type genus of the toxoglossan subfamily Mangeliinae Fischer, 1883. As the type material is now lost, we examined characters minutely in the original drawing and description. We conclude that M. striolata is a senior synonym of M. bertrandi (Payraudeau, 1827). A neotype is designated here for Mangelia striolata to stabilize its use.
