Bela plicatilis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.[1]
According to J.K. Tucker (2004), Mangelia plicatilis is a synonym of Haedropleura septangularis (Montagu, G., 1803).[2] However, Mangelia plicatilis is currently considered valid as Bela plicatilis.[1][3]
This species occurs in the Mediterranean Sea.[1]
