Abstract The type species of the genus Microstilifer, Stilifer auricula Hedley, 1907 is a rather common, but minute, Indo-Pacific micromollusc that needs a new generic and specific name due to misinterpretation of its identity. The genus Hoenselaaria new genus is introduced with its type species Hoenselaaria wareni new species. This species occurs nearly all over the tropical Indo-Pacific but it has been overlooked until now probably due to its extremely small size.
