Folinella is a genus of minute sea snails, pyramidellid gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Pyramidellidae within the tribe Chrysallidini.[1]
The whorls of the teleoconch are sculptured similarly throughout. The axial ribs are rounded. The spiral markings consist of two tumid ridges, one at the periphery and one at the summit of the whorls; with many striations on the base.[2]
