Stomatolina is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Trochidae, the top snails.

Description The depressed shell is rather flattened above and below. The aperture is quite oblique. The sculpture consists of numerous spirals, of which several have low carinae, more numerous intermediate riblets, and still more numerous interstitial spiral striae. These are sometimes decussated by growth lines.H.A. Pilsbry (1890) Manual of Conchology XII; Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, 1890
