Eulimellini is a tribe of minute sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.[2]

Taxonomy

According to Schander, Van Aartsen & Corgan (1999) there are 17 genera in the Eulimellinae.[3]

As "Eulimellinae", this taxon was previously one of eleven recognised subfamilies of the Pyramidellidae (according to the taxonomy of Ponder & Lindberg, 1997).[4]

In the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005), this subfamily Cingulininae was downgraded to the rank of tribe, as Eulimellini, belonging to the subfamily Turbonillinae.[2]

Genera

Genera within the tribe Eulimellini include:[3]
