Distribution Eastern Atlantic, from Bay of Biscay to Morocco, and in the Azores, in 200-1500 m; Mediterranean. Gorringe, Josephine, Ampère and Seine seamounts, moderately common in 165-830 m. Records from the Western Atlantic are misidentifications of G. bairdi (Verrill & Smith, 1884), according to Bouchet & Warén (1980). [details]

Nomenclature Tucker & Gatto (1996) claimed that the name Bela recondita was to be attributed to Monterosato, 1875, and that the name Gymnobela recondita (Monterosato, 1875) must replace G. abyssorum (Locard, 1897), which they claimed to be a junior synonym. Although these authors are right that a name first established in synonymy is available under the conditions set by ICZN Art. 11.6.1 [= Art. 11e in the 3rd edition of the Code], they missed the fact that the name Bela recondita as cited by Tiberi or Monterosato does not satisfy the criteria of Art. 12.1, as neither Tiberi nor Monterosato provided a description or indication on how recondita differs from torquata. Bela recondita was a nomen nudum until Locard used it as the valid name of a taxon and provided a description. [details]

Biology Type of larval development: planktotrophic, inferred from multispiral protoconch.  [details]

Diagnosis Shell up to 20 mm high, biconical. Protoconch relatively large, of 4 relatively convex whorls with oblique threads forming a delicate reticulate sculpture. Teleoconch of 6-7 shouldered whorls, with a blunt keel separated from the suture by a shallow depression. Subsutural zone sloping towards the keel and bearing fine spiral striae; the remainder of the surface with flattend, subequal spiral cords and with short oblique axial folds limited to the middle part of whorls. Outer lip simple, not thickened, curved in lateral view with a broad sinus on the adapical side. Colour of protoconch brown, of teleoconch buff with diffuminated brownish flames.  [details]

Distribution Eastern Atlantic, from Bay of Biscay to Morocco, and in the Azores, in 200-1500 m; Mediterranean. Gorringe, Josephine, Ampère and Seine seamounts, moderately common in 165-830 m. Records from the Western Atlantic are misidentifications of G. bairdi (Verrill & Smith, 1884), according to Bouchet & Warén (1980). [details]
