The original description by Laseron (1958) (in French) states that there are ribs at the summit basal of the whorls. They are placed medially on the whorls and sometimes lacking.

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 Standeniella include:
- Standeniella standeni (Dautzenberg & Fischer, 1906) (Type species) (as Pyrgulina standeni)
- Standeniella difficilis Saurin, 1958
