Abstract
The phylogeny of 23 species of the conoidean gastropods Oenopota and P ropebela from the North Atlantic is estimated in a parsimony analysis based on 26 morphological characters. Mangelia attenuata (Montagu, 180 3) is used as outgroup. The results indicate that most Propebela speci es form a monophyletic group within the Oenopota/Propebela complex, wh ereas Oenopota constitutes a paraphyletic assembly. The genus Curtitom a Bartsch, 1941 is probably non-monophyletic.
