The present paper contains a revision of the Arctic‐Atlantic Rissoidae (Gastropoda, Prosobranchia). Twenty‐two species are recognized. Two new species, Alvania obliqua and Alvania pseudoareolata are described, both previously wrongly identified. One new genus, Frigidoalcania , is established with Rissoa janmayeni as type‐species.
