2005 taxonomy[]

According to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) the family Scaliolidae has no subfamilies and has Obtortionidae Thiele, 1925 and Thile, 1929 as its synonyms.[2]

2006 taxonomy[]

Bandel (2006)[3] classified Scaliolidae within the superfamily Cerithioidea, but Obtortionidae at its own family level and Finellidae as a subfamily of .[3]
