Propebela variabilis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae. [1]
The spiraled shell appears white or off-white in color, with axial 1-3mm in size radiating from the apex of the shell, with much smaller spiral ribbing along the body whorl. [2] When the internal portion of the shell is viewed through aperture (the shell opening), the shell appears thin and translucent, with a semi-open siphonal canal. The length of the shell varies between 9 mm and 14 mm. [2]
This marine species occurs off Sakhalin, Eastern Russia. The first specimen denoted as a holotype was found in the Commander Islands, which is archived in the Zoological Institute of St. Petersburg, Russia. [3]
