2005 taxonomy
According to taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005 there are four families within the superfamily Achatinoidea,[1] that is based on the study by Nordsieck, published in 1986.[1][2]
- Family Achatinidae Swainson, 1840
- Family Ferussaciidae Bourguignat, 1883
- Family Micractaeonidae Schileyko, 1999
- Family Subulinidae P. Fischer & Crosse, 1877
2017 taxonomy
Fontanilla et al. recognized Subulinidae as not monophyletic in 2017 and they classified Subulininae within Achatinidae.[3]
- Family Achatinidae Swainson, 1840
- Family Aillyidae H. B. Baker, 1955[4]
- Family Ferussaciidae Bourguignat, 1883[4]
- Family Micractaeonidae Schileyko, 1999[4]
