REMARK

This genus was used by Peñas & Rolán (2017) for recent deep water Pyramidelloidea from the Central and South Pacific.These authors assumed that the Indo-Pacific species should be placed in Prestoniella Saurin, 1958. Here, the European species of the Early Miocene of the Proto-Mediterranean are considered to belong to Parthenina as suggested by Landau et al. (2013).
