'''''Alvania''''' is a genus of minute sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Rissoidae.<ref name="WoRMS">{{WRMS species|138439|''Alvania'' Risso, 1826|||WoRMS (2010). Alvania Risso, 1826. In: Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S.; Rosenberg, G. (2010) World Marine Mollusca database. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at <nowiki>http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=138439</nowiki> on 25 July 2012}}</ref>

They form a very diversified group within the Rissoidae family.

==Description== ''Alvania'' as currently used may not be monophyletic.<ref>MolluscaBase eds. (2020). MolluscaBase. Alvania fenestrata A. A. Gould, 1861. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=881067 on 2020-05-12</ref>

The genus ''Alvinia'' has been synonymized with ''Alvania'', until a consistent phylogenetic scheme emerges for the whole group. {{As of|2012}}, is sometimes considered a separate genus.<ref name="WoRMS2">Gofas, S. (2012). Alvinia Monterosato, 1884. Accessed through: World Register of Marine * At http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=574680 on 18 June 2012</ref>

The genus Alvania comprises species with small shells with heights measuring between 1 mm and 7 mm. Their general shape is ovate-conical, reticulated with axial and spirals elements. They have a continuous peristome. Their coloration is variable.<ref>[https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Bruno-Amati-2/publication/330674275_Taxonomic_notes_on_the_Alvania_cimex-complex_in_the_Mediterranean_Sea_Alvania_cingulata_Philippi_1836_junior_synonym_of_Alvania_mamillata_Risso_1826_Gastropoda_Rissoidae_Iberus_35_2_123-141/links/5f285620a6fdcccc43a87ec0/Taxonomic-notes-on-the-Alvania-cimex-complex-in-the-Mediterranean-Sea-Alvania-cingulata-Philippi-1836-junior-synonym-of-Alvania-mamillata-Risso-1826-Gastropoda-Rissoidae-Iberus-35-2-123-141.pdf Amati, Bruno, Massimo Appolloni, and Carlo Smriglio.

Some species such as ''Alvania sculptilis'' have been named twice with the second naming becoming a junior secondary homonym. However, the genus ''Alvania'' as currently used has a very broad taxonomic extension, and these species may very well end up in different genera when a robust phylogeny becomes available.<ref name="WoRMS" />

==Distribution== These marine species can be found worldwide (except in the antarctic and subantarctic regions). They can be found from intertidal depths to abyssal depths.<ref>[http://www.biodiversityjournal.com/pdf/8(3)_839-850.pdf Amati B. & Chiarelli S. (2017).
