Chilodontaidae is a taxonomic family of mostly small deepwater sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Vetigastropoda (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).
The family was previously in the superfamily Neritoidea in the order Neritopsina and the superorder Neritaemorphi.
This family consists of three following subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005):
A molecular phylogeny-based taxonomy of the Seguenzioidea was published by Kano (2007). [1]
The family Chilodontidae Wenz, 1938 will be renamed because it is a homonym of the fish family Chilodontidae Eigenmann, 1912; (to be emended to Chilodontaidae by ICZN [2] )
The subfamilies Calliotropinae Hickman & McLean, 1990 and Cataeginae McLean & Quinn, 1987 were raised to family levels as the Calliotropidae and the Cataegidae.

Genera within the family Chilodontaidae include (according to the World Register of Marine Species: [3]
Neritoidea is a taxonomic superfamily of mostly sea snails, nerites and their allies, marine gastropod mollusks in the order Cycloneritida.
The Trochidae, common name top-snails or top-shells, are a taxonomic family of very small to large sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Vetigastropoda.
Herpetopoma is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs of the family Chilodontaidae.
Danilia is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs of the family Chilodontaidae.
Trochoidea is a superfamily of small to very large vetigastropod sea snails with gills and an operculum. Species within this superfamily have nacre as the inner shell layer. The families within this superfamily include the Trochidae, the top snails. This superfamily is the largest vetigastropodan superfamily, containing more than 2,000 species.

Oleacinidae is a taxonomic family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the clade Eupulmonata.
The taxonomy of the Gastropoda, as revised by Winston Ponder and David R. Lindberg in 1997, is an older taxonomy of the class Gastropoda, the class of molluscs consisting of all snails and slugs. The full name of the work in which this taxonomy was published is Towards a phylogeny of gastropod molluscs: an analysis using morphological characters.
Seguenzioidea is a superfamily of minute to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Vetigastropoda.
Euchelus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Chilodontaidae.
Hybochelus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Chilodontaidae.
The subfamily Emarginulinae, common name keyhole limpets and slit limpets, is a taxonomic subfamily of limpet-like sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Fissurellidae, the keyhole limpets and slit limpets.
Eulima is a genus of small, ectoparasitic sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Eulimidae.
The Skeneidae are a speciose family of minute to small marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Trochoidea.
Cataegidae is a family of small sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Seguenzioidea.
Herpetopoma seychellarum is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chilodontidae.
The taxonomy of the Gastropoda as it was revised in December 2017 by Philippe Bouchet and eight other authors, is a publication which lays out a newly revised system for the scientific classification of gastropod mollusks. The same work also included the taxonomy of monoplacophorans.
