Taxonomy

Affenzeller et al. (2017) have shown than several Mediterranean species hitherto assigned to ''Gibbula'' were forming a separate clade and should be assigned to the genus ''Steromphala''. They included in the restricted ''Gibbula'' clade the species ''G. magus'' (type species), ''G. fanulum'' and ''G. ardens''. However many other species were not taken into account in this paper and will remain listed in WoRMS under ''Gibbula'' until their phylogenetic position is assessed, but possibly do not belong to the restricted ''Gibbula'' clade.

Distribution

The species in this genus occur through all seas, except on the coast of the American continent.

Description

The cyrtoconoid (= approaching a conical shape but with convex sides) shell is usually perforate or umbilicate. The spire is moderately elevated. The

s are often gibbous or tuberculose beneath the sutures, smooth or spirally ribbed. The last whorl is generally angular at the periphery. The aperture is subrhomboidal. The columella is oblique, dentate or subsinuous at the base. The outer lip is acute. The central tooth and the lateral teeth of the
