Benthomangelia antonia

Benthomangelia antonia is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.

The protoconch is clear brown, with three whorls, on most of which there are scalar ridges which are much more closely and regularly set than in Benthomangelia bandella, and do not resemble lamellae.

There is only a trace of an antesutural revolving rib in the earlier whorls which vanishes entirely in the later ones, and with it, of course, the tendency to raised points of sculpture.

While the revolving ribs are less regular and extend partially over the notch-band, which is thus rendered much less conspicuous than in B. bandella.

[2][3] This species occurs in European waters, the Northwest Atlantic Ocean (from New Jersey, USA, to Southern Brazil), off the Azores in the Gulf of Guinea and in the Gulf of Mexico.
