Taxonomy

The genus Folinella had two preoccupied names - Amoura De Folin, 1873 not J.E. Gray 1847, and Funicularia Monterosato, 1884 not Forbes, 1845.

Distribution

The genus Chrysallida is common in all oceans from the tropics to the polar regions. It is mainly known from coastal areas, and is uncommon in the deep sea.

The members of Chrysallida are ectoparasites on serpulid polychaetes.

Species

Ecology

Little is known about the ecology of the members of this genus. As is true of most members of the Pyramidellidae sensu lato, they are most likely ectoparasites.
