Taxonomy

According to Schander, Van Aartsen & Corgan (1999) there are 17 genera in the Eulimellinae.^[3]

As "Eulimellinae", this taxon was previously one of eleven recognised subfamilies of the Pyramidellidae (according to the taxonomy of Ponder & Lindberg, 1997).^[4]

In the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005), this subfamily Cingulininae was downgraded to the rank of tribe, as Eulimellini, belonging to the subfamily Turbonillinae.^[2]
