"Iolaea" is a small genus of sea snails, pyramidellid gastropod mollusks. This genus is currently placed in the subfamily Chrysallidinae, of the family Pyramidellidae.

Life habits

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. Hori & Kuroda (2001) described spermatophores from the species "Iolaea scitula". Spermatophores are also known from other members of the Chrysallidinae.
