Archiminolia is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Solariellidae, the top snails.
B.A. Marshall (1979) considered Ethaliopsis Schepman and Archiminolia Iredale synonym with Microgaza Dall.
Description The spire is moderately elevated. The teleoconch contains fine spiral cords. The subsutural cord sometimes contains nodules. The open, but not very broad umbilicus has no callus. The radula contains a broad latero-marginal plate.Claude Vilvens, New species and new records of Solariellidae (Gastropoda, Trochoidea) from Indonesia and Taiwan; Novapex v.11 2010
