Spiralinella is a genus of very small sea snails, pyramidellid gastropod mollusks, or micromollusks.Gofas, S.; Rosenberg, G. (2015). Spiralinella Chaster, 1901. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=743286 on 2015-04-06
Nomenclature Both this genus and its type species have had a very complicated synonymy. The status of the generic name Spiralinella in contrast to the names Partulida and Spiralina was clarified by Corgan (1973), and the nomenclatorical problems around the type species were discussed by van Aartsen & Gianuzzi-Savelli (1991).
Life habits Little is known about the biology of the members of this genus. As is true of most members of the Pyramidellidae sensu lato, they are most likely to be ectoparasites.
Species Species within the genus Spiralinella include: Spiralinella incerta (Milaschewich, 1916) Spiralinella marthinae (Nofroni & Schander, 1994) Spiralinella muinaiensis Saurin, 1962 Spiralinella spiralis (Montagu, 1803) (Type species) (as Turbo spiralis)
