Type species: Vilertia galeata View in CoL sp. nov.

Etymology: The name is a derivatio nominis referring to the village of Vilert, in the municipality of Esponellà (Pla de l’Estany, Girona province), where the first shells were found. Gender of genus is feminine.
Remarks: Only known for the type species. See comparison with other genera and main characteristics thereafter.
