Scacchinella gigantea Schellwien, 1900 is described from the lower part (Parafusulina Zone, Kungurian) of the Akasaka Limestone in the Akasaka area, Mino Belt, central Japan. A review of all occurrences of Scacchinella indicates that this genus ranges from Late Carboniferous (Gzhelian) to Late Permian (Changhsingian). Palaeobiogeographically, the distribution of Scacchinella is restricted to the Palaeoequatorial region and bi-temperate transitional zones, but it has never been recorded from the Boreal and Gondwanan regions.
