'''''Tiberia''''' is a genus of minute parasitic sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.<ref>WoRMS (2010). ''Tiberia'' Monterosato, 1875. In: Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S.; Rosenberg, G. (2010) World Marine Mollusca database. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=138420 on 2011-03-21</ref> ''Tiberia'' is the only genus in the tribe '''Tiberiini'''.

== Taxonomy == According to Schander, Van Aartsen & Corgan (1999) the subfamily Tiberiinae contains a single genus, ''Tiberia''.<ref>{{cite journal | author = Schander C., van Aartsen J.

Tiberiinae was one of eleven recognised subfamilies in the family Pyramidellidae according to the taxonomy of Ponder & Lindberg (1997).<ref>{{cite journal |author1=Ponder, W.F. |author2=Lindberg, D.

However, in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005), this subfamily was downgraded to the rank of tribe Tiberiini in the subfamily Syrnolinae.<ref name="Bouchet 2005"/>

''Tiberia'' is the type genus of the tribe Tiberiini.<ref name="Bouchet 2005">{{Bouchet 2005}}</ref>

== Description == The very small shells of the species in this genus have many whorls. They are umbilicate shells that lack both shell sculpture and the apertural tooth or teeth that are characteristic in most other members of the family Pyramidellidae. They may, however, have slight biplicate folds on the columella.
