Vullietoliva was first separated from Oliva from in 2017 by Edward J. Petuch and David P. Berschauer. It was named for Thierry Vulliet, an expert on the Olividae of Australia and Melanesia.[2] It originally contained three species, one of which was later moved into Felicioliva by Petuch and Berschauer.[3]

The shells of Vullietoliva are described as small-to-average sized for Olividae species. They are cylindrical, glossy, and may be colored yellow, bright pink, golden, or pale lavender. They may have two large brown bands.[2]
