= Jordanula Chaster, 1901 . Unnecessary replacement name.
Pyramidellids with small (<4.5 mm long), nearly cylindrical shells of no more than six whorls. Sculpture consisting of spiral lirae and growth lines. Aperture egg-shaped to oval. Columellar fold retracted and low, but always present. Protoconch small and inverted.
The type species was included in the molecular analysis of pyramidellids by Schander et al. (2003), who concluded that the use of Jordaniella as a genus is justified.
