Lamarck in the Philos. Zool., 1809, mentioned the genus as "Stomatelle" but did not describe the genus, nor did he cite any species. He cited the genus in Anim. s. Vert. vol. vi, p. 209, 1819. with as first species Stomatella imbricata (now a synonym of Granata imbricata (Lamarck, 1816) )
According to the Nomenclator Zoologicus of ubio.org, the authorship should be attributed to Rafinesque.,[2] who Latinized the name to Stomatella.
