ABSTRACT - A new species of mangeliid, Bela pseudoappeliusi (Neogastropoda, Conoidea), is described from the Plio-Pleistocene of Italy. The systematic description is based on a series of eleven specimens selected from the numerous findings in northern and central Italy (Piedmont, Emilia-Romagna, Tuscany and Lazio). The new species shows affinities to Bela (s.l.) appeliusi (Bellardi, 1877) with regard to particular features such as shell dimension, teleoconch sculpture and aperture morphology. The study includes a detailed survey of the type locality as well as a brief account of occurrences at other localities.
