Taxonomy The genus Odostomia Fleming, 1813 was used by XIXth century authors, particularly in the European literature, for most of the smaller Pryamidellidae. It is still a catchall for most snall pyramidellids lacking both axial and spiral sculpture. Some authors, e.g. Høisæter (2014), Peñas, Rolán & Swinnen (2014) and Giannuzzi-Savelli et al. (2014) who are here followed have attemptted to redistribute some of the species, but there are still many species remaining unduly under Odostomia. For these, we have refrained from making new combinations not backed by (or implicit from) a published source but, unless otherwise noted, the species that were already "accepted" under a subgenus now raised to full genus have been marked as "accepted" under that full genus.
