The presence of the melongenid genus Pugilina in the tropical American Neogene to Recent assemblages is discussed, with comments on its fossil and Recent eastern Atlantic and European congeners. A new species is described from the lower Miocene Cantaure Formation of Venezuela. The IndoPacific species ascribed by most authors to Pugilina are here considered to be a different species group, for which we use the genus Volegalea Iredale, 1938.
