'''''Minolia''''' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Solariellidae.<ref name="WoRMS">{{WRMS species|138593|''Minolia'' A. Adams, 1860||24 February 2012}}</ref>
A.

==Description== The thin, delicate, smooth shell is depressed and widely umbilicated. The whorls are rounded or angulated. The spire is depressed. The sculpture is finely decussated. The aperture is circular. The outer lip and columella thin, simple, acute. The umbilicus is simple and contains no spiral, callous internal funicle or rib.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/manualofconcholo111tryo Tryon (1889), Manual of Conchology XI, Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia]</ref>
==Distribution== These marine species belong to the Indian Ocean, the western and southwestern Pacific Ocean.{{fact|date=December 2024}}
