Taxonomy

Taylor (1966),^[3] Ponder & Warén (1988)^[4] and Kabat & Hershler (1993)^[5] considered this taxon as a subfamily Lithoglyphinae within Hydrobiidae.^[6] Radoman (1983)^[7] considered Lithoglyphidae as a separate family.^[6] Bernasconi (1992)^[8] considered this taxon as a tribe Lithoglyphini in the Hydrobiinae within Hydrobiidae.^[6]

2005 taxonomy

The family Lithoglyphidae consists of 2 subfamilies according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005.^[2] It follows Wilke et al. (2001),^[6] Hausdorf et al. (2003)^[9] and includes Lepyriidae according to Thompson (1984).^[10][2]
