Stomatella is a genus of small to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Trochidae, the top snails and their allies. Lamarck in the Philos. Zool., 1809, mentioned the genus as "Stomatelle" but not did not describe the genus, nor did he cite any species. He cited the genus in Anim. s. Vert. vol. vi, p. 209, 1819. with as first species Stomatella imbricata (now a synonym of Granata imbricata (Lamarck, 1816) ) According to the Nomenclator Zoologicus of ubio.org, the authorship should be attributed to Rafinesque., who Latinized the name to Stomatella.
