Chevallieria is a genus of minute sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Anabathridae.[1]
(Original description in French) The shell is imperforate and subcylindrical, featuring a spire truncated at the apex and spirally striated whorls. The aperture is oval, subtrigonal, and vertical, broadly emarginate anteriorly. The peristome is entire and callous, forming an angle at the junction of the columella. [2]
