Depressizona is the only genus within the family Depressizonidae. [2]

Depressizonidae was described as the subfamily Depressizoninae Geiger, 2003, in 2003. Then in 2005 it was considered to be a synonym of Scissurellinae in the family Scissurellidae according to the taxonomy of Bouchet & Roctoi (2005) [3] and it has also been placed in Scissurellidae. [4] In 2009 it was updated to the family level, Depressizonidae, when the second known species Depressizona axiosculpta was described. [2]
