- Tofanellinae Bandel, 1995
- Usedomellinae Gründel, 1998[3]
Genera[]
Genera within the family Tofanellidae include:
- Atomiscala de Boury, 1909
- Bouryiscala Cossmann, 1902
- Coenaculum Iredale, 1924
- Graphis Jeffreys, 1867
- † Bandel, 1995 - type genus of the family Tofanellidae,[2] from the late Triassic[4]
- † Gründel, 1998 - type genus of the subfamily Usedomellinae[2]
- Genera brought into synonymy
- Cioniscus Jeffreys, 1869: synonym of Graphis Jeffreys, 1867
