Laseronella

Laseronella is a small genus of sea snails, pyramidellid gastropod mollusks. This genus is currently placed in the subfamily Chrysallidinae of the family Odostomiidae. It has both recent and fossil (Tertiary) members. The name is a replacement name for Pandorella Laseron, 1951, that is preoccupied by "Pandorella" Conrad, 1862, another mollusk.
