R.N. Kilburn disputed in 1994 that Mangilia nanisca should belong to the genus Anacithara, as it shows apertural features that are unknown in Anacithara, such as two median denticles in the inner lip and a posterior nodule on the outer lip.[http://reference.sabinet.co.za/webx/access/journal_archive/03040798/228.pdf Kilburn, R.
