Bela (Haedropleura) | |
Haedropleura is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Horaiclavidae.
It was formerly included within the subfamily Crassispirinae, family Turridae.[2]
According to Nordsieck (1968, 1977) and Van Aartsen et al. (1984) Haedropleura Bucquoy, Dautzenberg & Dollfus, 1883 is a junior synonym of Bellaspira Conrad, 1868. The latter gets priority.[2] However, this not backed by distinctions at the genus level, which puts Bellaspira in the family Drilliidae. Their characters have been poorly defined until the study by Scarponi, Daniele, Giano Della Bella, and Alessandro Ceregato. "The genus Haedropleura (Neogastropoda, Toxoglossa-Conoidea) in the Plio-Quaternary of the Mediterranean basin." Zootaxa 2796.1 (2011): 37-55.
