Taxonomy
1998 taxonomy
The following subfamilies of Enidae are based on work by Schileyko (1998) and they are in use mainly by Russian malacologists:
* subfamily Pseudonapaeinae
* subfamily Chondrulopsininae
* subfamily Merdigerinae
* subfamily Buliminusinae
* subfamily Andronakiinae
* subfamily Retowskiinae
* subfamily Eninae - including ''Chondrula''
* subfamily Multidentulini
2005 taxonomy

subfamilies have been recognized in
the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005):
