Maoraxidae is an extinct family of snails, gastropod molluscs in the clade Sorbeoconcha. [2]
According to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) the family Maoraxidae has no subfamilies.
Sorbeoconcha is a taxonomic clade of snails, i.e. gastropods, mainly marine species with gills and opercula, within the clade Caenogastropoda.
Neritoidea is a taxonomic superfamily of mostly sea snails, nerites and their allies, marine gastropod mollusks in the order Cycloneritida.
Neritopsoidea is a taxonomic grouping, a superfamily of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Cycloneritimorpha, within the clade Neritimorpha,, or in the order Neritoina within superorder Cycloneritimorpha within the subclass Neritimorpha,.
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.
Cerithiidae, common name the cerithiids or ceriths, is a large family of medium-sized marine gastropods in the clade Sorbeoconcha.
Eucyclidae is a family of gastropods in the superfamily Seguenzioidea.
Neritopsidae is a family of small sea snails and freshwater snails in the clade Cycloneritimorpha.
Aporrhaidae is a family of sea snails commonly called the "pelican's foot snails." The taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005 categorizes Aporrhaidae as marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Littorinimorpha.
The Cerithioidea is a superfamily of marine, brackish water and freshwater gastropod containing more than 200 genera. The Cerithoidea are included unassigned in the subclass Caenogastropoda. The original name of this superfamily was Cerithiacea, in keeping with common superfamily endings at the time.
Porcellioidea is an extinct superfamily of small to large sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Vetigastropoda.
Seguenzioidea is a superfamily of minute to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Vetigastropoda.

† Canterburyellidae is an extinct family of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Sorbeoconcha.
† Prisciphoridae is an extinct family of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Sorbeoconcha.
The Cimidae is a taxonomic family of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the infraclass Lower Heterobranchia.
Newtoniellidae is a family of minute sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the superfamily Triphoroidea. It contains the following subfamilies :
Pseudomelaniidae is an extinct family of fossil sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Caenogastropoda.
Procerithiidae is a taxonomic family of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Sorbeoconcha.
Cimoideais a superfamily of rather specialized, highly evolved sea slugs and sea snails, within the infraclass "Lower Heterobranchia".
