Folinella is a small genus of sea snails, pyramidellid gastropod mollusk or micromollusks. This genus is currently placed in the subfamily Chrysallidinae of the family Odostomiidae.
The genus had two preoccupied names - Amoura De Folin, 1873 not J.E. Gray 1847, and Funicularia Monterosato, 1884 not Forbes, 1845.

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