subdivision = See text.Sayellinae is a
taxonomic subfamily of minute ectoparasitic seasnail s, marinegastropod mollusc s, ormicromollusk s, in the very large familyPyramidellidae , the pyrams and their allies.This subfamily is one of eleven recognised in the family
Pyramidellidae , according to the taxonomy of Ponder & Lindberg (1997). However, in the new taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005), this subfamily has been downgraded to the rank of tribe Sayellini Wise, 1996 in the subfamilyPyramidellinae Gray, 1840 .According to Schander, Van Aartsen & Corgen (1999) there are only two genera in this sub-family.
