Mangelia cingulata is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.[1]

## Description[edit]

The length of the shell attains 7.7 mm, its diameter 2.6 mm.

The solid, brownish shell is turriform. The apex is broken off, but 10-11 whorls appear to have existed. These are steeply angulated with a suture impressed below the lowest strongest spiral. Three such spirals are present on the whorls in increasing strength. Another four of decreasing strength show a slightly larger interstice on the body whorl. Between the spiral ribs are fine, extensively extended ribs in the direction of growth, but they become mostly indistinct by a fibrous cuticle.[1]

## Distribution[edit]

This marine species occurs off Uruguay and South Georgia.
