Benthomangelia enceladus is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae. [1]
The specific epithet refers to the moon of Saturn, and is therefore a noun in apposition that does not agree in gender with the genus.
This marine species occurs in the Campos Basin, Southeast Brazil.
