Prestoniella is a genus of very small sea snails, pyramidellid gastropod mollusks or micromollusks. This genus is currently placed in the subfamily Chrysallidinae within the family Odostomiidae.
The original description by Laseron (1958) (in French) is extremely short and only states that the base of the shell is without spiral ribs.
Nothing 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 to be ectoparasites.
Species within the genus Prestoniella include:

Pyramidellidae, common name the pyram family, or pyramid shells, is a voluminous taxonomic family of mostly small and minute ectoparasitic sea snails, marine heterobranch gastropod molluscs. The great majority of species of pyrams are micromolluscs.
Turbonillinae is a subfamily of mostly minute parasitic sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.
Agatha is a small genus of minute sea snails or marine gastropod mollusks within the subfamily Syrnolinae, which is a part of the family Pyramidellidae.
