The Mediterranean mangeliid species commonly ascribed to the genus Mangelia Risso, 1826 are here reviewed with the description of three new species: Mangelia algarvensis Spada n. sp., M. striolatoides Sabelli & Spada n. sp. and Mangelia tenuisculpta Spada n. sp. One new genus, Pseudomangelia n. gen. Sabelli & Spada (type species Pleurotoma vauquelini Payraudeau, 1827) is described and the genera Lyromangelia Monterosato, 1917, Pyrgocythara Woodring, 1928, Smithiella Monterosato, 1880 and Villersiella Monterosato, 1890 are resurrected on the basis of different morphology of the shell, of the living animal and of the radula.
